Image restoration problems are often converted into large-scale, nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems. Most existing minimization methods are not efficient for solving su...
Mining discrete patterns in binary data is important for subsampling, compression, and clustering. We consider rankone binary matrix approximations that identify the dominant patt...
The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
Data-layout optimizations rearrange fields within objects, objects within objects, and objects within the heap, with the goal of increasing spatial locality. While the importance ...
Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users’ search queries via an auction. Advertisers have to solve a complex optimization problem of how to place bids o...
