The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
Manydesign problems are solved using multiple levels of abstraction, wherea design at one level has combinatorially manychildren at the next level. A stochastic optimization metho...

In recent years there has been a lot of interest in designing principled classification algorithms over multiple cues, based on the intuitive notion that using more features shou...
This paper presents an improved differential evolution (IDE) method for the solution of large-scale unit commitment (UC) problems. The objective of the proposed scheme is to determ...
We consider the problem of minimizing the number of ADMs in optical networks. All previous theoretical studies of this problem dealt with the off-line case, where all the lightpat...
