A Utile Function Optimizer
Abstract— We recast the problem of unconstrained continuous evolutionary optimization as inference in a fixed graphical model. This approach allows us to address several pervasi...

Optimizing Complex Loss Functions in Structured Prediction
Abstract. In this paper we develop an algorithm for structured prediction that optimizes against complex performance measures, those which are a function of false positive and fals...

Geometric optimization and sums of algebraic functions
We present a new optimization technique that yields the first FPTAS for several geometric problems. These problems reduce to optimizing a sum of non-negative, constant description...

Minimization of Locally Defined Submodular Functions by Optimal Soft Arc Consistency
Submodular function minimization is a polynomially-solvable combinatorial problem. Unfortunately the best known general-purpose algorithms have high-order polynomial time complexi...

Parametric Query Optimization for Linear and Piecewise Linear Cost Functions
The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
