This paper presents a formal framework for designing search algorithms which can identify target images by the spatial distribution of color, edge and texture attributes. The fram...
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...
A wide variety of machine learning problems can be described as minimizing a regularized risk functional, with different algorithms using different notions of risk and differen...

The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a detector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Ga...

Suppose a decision maker has to purchase a commodity over time with varying prices and demands. In particular, the price per unit might depend on the amount purchased and this pri...
