We study the convergence properties of an alternating proximal minimization algorithm for nonconvex structured functions of the type: L(x, y) = f(x)+Q(x, y)+g(y), where f : Rn → ...
Many industries experience an explosion in digital content. This explosion of electronic documents, along with new regulations and document retention rules, sets new requirements f...
We consider the problem of finding a ranking of a set of elements that is "closest to" a given set of input rankings of the elements; more precisely, we want to find a p...
We consider statistical mechanics systems defined on a set with some symmetry properties (namely, the set admits an action by a group, which is finitely generated and residually fi...
A universal model of a database D and a set Σ of integrity constraints is a database that extends D, satisfies Σ, and is most general in the sense that it contains sound and co...
