For a positive integer n that is not a power of 2, precisely the same family of convex polygons with n sides is optimal in three different geometric problems. These polygons have ...
We propose a mathematical model for an infestation of a wooded area by a beetle species in which the larvae develop deep in the wood of living trees. Due to the difficulties of det...
Variable selection is an important and practical problem that arises in analysis of many high-dimensional datasets. Convex optimization procedures that arise from relaxing the NP-...
Nearest neighbour classifiers and related kernel methods often perform poorly in high dimensional problems because it is infeasible to include enough training samples to cover the...
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently introduced tree-...
