A Quasi-Newton Approach to Nonsmooth Convex Optimization Problems in Machine Learning
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...

Distributed Online Learning of Central Pattern Generators in Modular Robots
Abstract. In this paper we study distributed online learning of locomotion gaits for modular robots. The learning is based on a stochastic approximation method, SPSA, which optimiz...

Extrapolated Implicit-Explicit Time Stepping
This paper constructs extrapolated implicit-explicit time stepping methods that allow one to efficiently solve problems with both stiff and nonstiff components. The proposed meth...

A New Sobolev Gradient Method for Direct Minimization of the Gross--Pitaevskii Energy with Rotation
Abstract. In this paper we improve traditional steepest descent methods for the direct minimization of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) energy with rotation at two levels. We first defi...

A lightweight approach to repairing digitized polygon meshes
Abstract When designing novel algorithms for geometric processing and analysis, researchers often assume that the input conforms to several requirements. On the other hand, polygon...
