In this paper, we describe how a genetic algorithm approach added to a simulated annealing (SA) process offers a better alternative to find the mean variance frontier in the portf...

UOBYQA is a new algorithm for general unconstrained optimization calculations, that takes account of the curvature of the objective function, F say, by forming quadratic models by ...
Quadratic optimization lies at the very heart of many structural pattern recognition and computer vision problems, such as graph matching, object recognition, image segmentation, ...
Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) is currently the most popular algorithm to solve large quadratic programs for Support Vector Machine (SVM) training. For many variants of this...
Appropriate selection of the kernel function, which implicitly defines the feature space of an algorithm, has a crucial role in the success of kernel methods. In this paper, we co...
