In orthodontics, retraction springs made of metallic wires are often used to move a tooth with respect to another by the virtue of the spring back effect. Specially selected form o...
In recent years there has been a lot of interest in designing principled classification algorithms over multiple cues, based on the intuitive notion that using more features shou...
Computational science is placing new demands on optimization algorithms as the size of data sets and the computational complexity of scientific models continue to increase. As thes...

Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

We consider the problem of fitting a large-scale covariance matrix to multivariate Gaussian data in such a way that the inverse is sparse, thus providing model selection. Beginnin...
