Spatial pyramid matching (SPM) is a simple yet effective approach to compute similarity between images. Similarity kernels at different regions and scales are usually fused by som...
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...

Policy teaching considers a Markov Decision Process setting in which an interested party aims to influence an agent’s decisions by providing limited incentives. In this paper, ...
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...

We consider the problem of learning incoherent sparse and lowrank patterns from multiple tasks. Our approach is based on a linear multi-task learning formulation, in which the spa...
