This paper shows that shared coin algorithms can be combined to optimize several complexity measures, even in the presence of a strong adversary. By combining shared coins of Brac...
The practice of having PhDs employed by the university that trained them, commonly called "academic inbreeding," has long been assumed to have a damaging effect on schol...
Abstract We present a matrix-free line search algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization that allows for inexact step computations. For sufficiently convex problem...
We consider a probabilistic model for the Steiner Tree problem. Under this model the problem is defined in a 2-stage setting over a first-stage complete weighted graph having it...
—This paper presents a robust and automatic approach to photometric stereo, where the two main components, namely surface normals and visible surfaces, are respectively optimized...
