In the networking research literature, the problem of network utility optimization is often converted to the dual problem which, due to nondifferentiability, is solved with a part...
A large number of problems in computer vision can be modeled as energy minimization problems in a markov random field (MRF) framework. Many methods have been developed over the y...

We address a hierarchical generalization of the well-known disk paging problem. In the hierarchical cooperative caching problem, a set of n machines residing in an ultrametric spa...

Consider the following file caching problem: in response to a sequence of requests for files, where each file has a specified size and retrieval cost, maintain a cache of files of ...
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...
