This paper is devoted to the optimization problem of continuous multipartitioning, or multi-labeling, which is based on a convex relaxation of the continuous Potts model. In contr...
The integration of genetic algorithms (GAs) and tabu search is one of traditional problems in function optimization in the GA literature. However, most proposed methods have utili...
We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...
We present the Optimizing Control Variate (OCV) estimator, a new estimator for Monte Carlo rendering. Based upon a deterministic sampling framework, OCV allows multiple importance...

Various techniques have previously been proposed for the separation of convolutive mixtures. These techniques can be classified as stochastic, adaptive, and deterministic. Stochast...
