Statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients are commonly represented by graphical models such as hidden Markov trees (HMTs). However, in linear inverse problems such as d...

Conditional Random Field models have proved effective for several low-level computer vision problems. Inference in these models involves solving a combinatorial optimization probl...
For regular, sparse, linear systems, like those derived from regular grids, using High Performance Fortran (HPF) for iterative solvers is straightforward. However, for irregular ma...
We consider the problem of multiple kernel learning (MKL), which can be formulated as a convex-concave problem. In the past, two efficient methods, i.e., Semi-Infinite Linear Prog...
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
