Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
This paper explores the problem of computing pairwise similarity on document collections, focusing on the application of “more like this” queries in the life sciences domain. ...
—Large-scale wireless networks must be designed such that there are no gaps in coverage. It is also desirable to minimize the number of access points used in order to minimize th...
We introduce point-based dynamic programming (DP) for decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (DEC-POMDPs), a new discrete DP algorithm for planning strategie...
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...
