An intuitive approach to utilizing unlabeled data in kernel-based classification algorithms is to simply treat unknown labels as additional optimization variables. For marginbased...

We introduce a new probing problem: what is the minimum number of cameras at fixed positions necessary and sufficient to reconstruct any strictly convex polygon contained in a dis...
We consider the problem of finding the shortest curve in the plane that has unit width. This problem was first posed as the “river shore” puzzle by Ogilvy (1972) and is rela...

Star-shaped bodies are an important nonconvex generalization of convex bodies (e.g., linear programming with violations). Here we present an efficient algorithm for sampling a giv...

If appropriately used, prior knowledge can significantly improve the predictive accuracy of learning algorithms or reduce the amount of training data needed. In this paper we intr...
