We present a new formulation of distributed task assignment, called Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (GMAP), which is derived from an NP-hard combinatorial optimization probl...
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 conservation of wildlife corridors between existing habitat preserves is important for combating the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation facing species of concern. We in...

Abstract. In this paper, we empirically investigate the NP-hard problem of finding sparsest solutions to linear equation systems, i.e., solutions with as few nonzeros as possible. ...
In this paper, we propose two new support vector approaches for ordinal regression, which optimize multiple thresholds to define parallel discriminant hyperplanes for the ordinal ...
