Sparse modeling is a powerful framework for data analysis and processing. Traditionally, encoding in this framework is performed by solving an 1-regularized linear regression prob...
Aligning DNA and protein sequences is a core technique in molecular biology. Often, it is desirable to include partial prior knowledge and conditions in an alignment. Going beyond...
In this paper we consider the problem of computing globally minimal continuous curves and surfaces for image segmentation and 3D reconstruction. This is solved using a maximal flo...
A practical warm-start procedure is described for the infeasible primal-dualinterior-point method employed to solve the restricted master problem within the cutting-plane method. ...
Abstract. Motivated by the analogies to statistical physics, the deterministic annealing (DA) method has successfully been demonstrated in a variety of application. In this paper, ...
