Abstract. In this paper, a framework for previous and new quasi-exact extensions of the A -algorithm is presented. In contrast to previous approaches, the new methods guarantee to ...
We present a globally convergent method for regularized risk minimization problems. Our method applies to Support Vector estimation, regression, Gaussian Processes, and any other ...
The Airline Crew Assignment Problem (ACA) consists of assigning lines of work to a set of crew members such that a set of activities is partitioned and the costs for that assignmen...
The construction of multicast trees is complicated by the need to balance a number of important objectives, including: minimizing latencies, minimizing depth/hops, and bounding th...
