— It is well known that the performance of adaptive beamformers may degrade in the presence of steering errors. In this context, diagonal loading is one of the most popular metho...
We present an extension of the development of an alternating minimization (AM) method1 for the computation of a specimen's complex transmittance function (magnitude and phase...
We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...

The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
We present an efficient method for maximizing energy functions with first and second order potentials, suitable for MAP labeling estimation problems that arise in undirected graph...
