In this paper, we present an algorithm for delay minimization of interconnect trees by simultaneous buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing. The algorithm integrates the quadratic...
Given any generative classifier based on an inexact density model, we can define a discriminative counterpart that reduces its asymptotic error rate, while increasing the estima...
Extensive labeled data for image annotation systems, which learn to assign class labels to image regions, is difficult to obtain. We explore a hybrid model framework for utilizing...
We present different ways, coming from Finite Volume or Mixed Finite Element frameworks, to discretize convection terms in Hybrid Finite Volume, Mimetic Finite Difference and Mixed...
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...
