Adopt: asynchronous distributed constraint optimization with quality guarantees
The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is able to model a wide variety of distributed reasoning tasks that arise in multiagent systems. Unfortunately, existing met...

A Probabilistic Approach to Object Recognition Using Local Photometry and Global Geometry
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...

Nonnegative 3-way tensor factorization via conjugate gradient with globally optimal stepsize
This paper deals with the minimal polyadic decomposition (also known as canonical decomposition or Parafac) of a 3way array, assuming each entry is positive. In this case, the low...
