The fused Lasso penalty enforces sparsity in both the coefficients and their successive differences, which is desirable for applications with features ordered in some meaningful w...
We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
The restarted line search, or coordinate-wise search, algorithm is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. Two different univariate search algorithms (fminbnd from MATLAB and STEP) were...
The restarted estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) with Cauchy distribution as the probabilistic model is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. These tests prove that when using ...
Abstract. This paper presents an efficient parallel algorithm for volume rendering of large-scale datasets. Our algorithm focuses on an optimization technique, namely early ray te...
