Consider the problem of signal detection via multiple distributed noisy sensors. We propose a linear decision fusion rule to combine the local statistics from individual sensors i...
Abstract--Power allocation is a promising approach for optimizing the performance of mobile radio systems in interference channels. In the present paper, the non-convex objective f...
We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...

This work describes a stochastic approach for the optimal placement of sensors in municipal water networks to detect maliciously injected contaminants. The model minimizes the exp...
We present a practical algorithm that provably achieves the global optimum for a class of bilinear programs commonly arising in computer vision applications. Our approach relies o...
