Shape from silhouette methods are extensively used to model dynamic and non-rigid objects using binary foreground-background images. Since the problem of reconstructing shapes fro...
d abstract] Robert Krauthgamer ∗ IBM Almaden James R. Lee † Institute for Advanced Study We initiate the study of approximate algorithms on negatively curved spaces. These spa...
We study a novel separator property called k-path separable. Roughly speaking, a k-path separable graph can be recursively separated into smaller components by sequentially removi...
Generally, evolutionary algorithms require a large number of evaluations of the objective function in order to obtain a good solution. This paper presents a simple approach to sav...
A new quasi-Newton scheme for updating a low rank positive semi-definite Hessian approximation is described, primarily for use in sequential quadratic programming methods for non...
