— The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a kind of reliability optimization problems. It involves the selection of components with appropriate levels of redundancy or reliabi...
In this paper, we propose an extended local search framework to solve combinatorial optimization problems with data uncertainty. Our approach represents a major departure from sce...
Although more efficient in computation compared to other tracking approaches such as particle filtering, the kernel-based tracking suffers from the "singularity" problem...
In this paper we formulate spectral clustering in directed graphs as an optimization problem, the objective being a weighted cut in the directed graph. This objective extends seve...
We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...
