Expressive Banner Ad Auctions and Model-Based Online Optimization for Clearing
We present the design of a banner advertising auction which is considerably more expressive than current designs. We describe a general model of expressive ad contracts/bidding an...

Global optimization by continuous grasp
We introduce a novel global optimization method called Continuous GRASP (C-GRASP) which extends Feo and Resende’s greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) from the dom...

Adjoint-Based Optimal Control of the Expected Exit Time for Stochastic Hybrid Systems
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of controlling the expected exit time from a region for a class of stochastic hybrid systems. That is, we find the least costly feedb...

Biologically Plausible Associative Memory: Continuous Unit Response + Stochastic Dynamics
A neural network model of associative memory is presented which unifies the two historically more relevant enhancements to the basic Little-Hopfield discrete model: the graded resp...
