This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
This paper presents a wavelet-based algorithm for height from gradients. The tensor product of the third-order Daubechies’ scaling functions is used to span the solution space. ...
Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
Three fundamental problems in the study of grasping and dextrous manipulation with multifingered robotic hands are as follows. a) Given a robotic hand and a grasp characterized by ...
We propose a general and efficient algorithm for learning low-rank matrices. The proposed algorithm converges super-linearly and can keep the matrix to be learned in a compact fac...
