This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
Large-scale process fluctuations in nano-scale IC technologies suggest applying high-order (e.g., quadratic) response surface models to capture the circuit performance variations....

We introduce the k-payment problem: given a total budget of N units, the problem is to represent this budget as a set of coins, so that any k exact payments of total value at most ...
In this work, we are concerned with the detection of multiple objects in an image. We demonstrate that typically applied objectives have the structure of a random field model, but...
The problem of finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models comes up in a wide range of applications. In a general graphical model this problem is NP hard, bu...
