We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
The yolk, defined by McKelvey as the smallest ball intersecting all median hyperplanes, is a key concept in the Euclidean spatial model of voting. Koehler conjectured that the yo...
Speech communication consists of three steps: production, transmission, and hearing. Every step inevitably involves acoustic distortions due to gender differences, age, microphone...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose an efficient video coding system that applies statistical learning methods to reduce the computational cost in H.264 encoder. The proposed metho...
