We consider the minimum line covering problem: given a set S of n points in the plane, we want to find the smallest number l of straight lines needed to cover all n points in S. W...
Let S Rk+m be a compact semi-algebraic set defined by P1 0, . . . , P 0, where Pi R[X1, . . . , Xk, Y1, . . . , Ym], and deg(Pi) 2, 1 i . Let denote the standard projection f...
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
Classifiers favoring sparse solutions, such as support vector machines, relevance vector machines, LASSO-regression based classifiers, etc., provide competitive methods for classi...
Research on constraint propagation has primarily focused on designing polynomial-time propagators sometimes at the cost of a weaker filtering. Interestingly, the evolution of cons...
