We present an approach for optimizing the performance of information agents by materializing useful information . A critical problem with information agents, particularly those ga...
Given a sample covariance matrix, we examine the problem of maximizing the variance explained by a linear combination of the input variables while constraining the number of nonze...

A stent device is a permanent metallic implant currently used to prop open arteries blocked with atherosclerotic plaques. Many classes of stents are available and mainly differ b...
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for handling optimization problems with uncertain data. With the usual Robust Optimization paradigm, one looks for the decisions ensurin...
