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...
In this paper, we discuss the design of a highly-parallel motion estimator for real-time Scalable Video Coding (SVC). In an SVC, motion is commonly estimated bidirectionally and o...

Extremal optimisation (EO) is a relatively recent nature-inspired heuristic whose search method is especially suitable to solve combinatorial optimisation problems. To date, most o...
To take the first step beyond keyword-based search toward entity-based search, suitable token spans ("spots") on documents must be identified as references to real-world...

NK models provide a family of tunably rugged fitness landscapes used in a wide range of evolutionary computation studies. It is well known that the average height of local optima...
