PolyEDA: Combining Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and Linear Inequality Constraints
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...

Gradient descent optimization of smoothed information retrieval metrics
Abstract Most ranking algorithms are based on the optimization of some loss functions, such as the pairwise loss. However, these loss functions are often different from the criter...

On Bounded Leg Shortest Paths Problems
Let V be a set of points in a d-dimensional lp-metric space. Let s, t ∈ V and let L be any real number. An L-bounded leg path from s to t is an ordered set of points which conne...

Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization
We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
