Abstract. We present a technique that achieves local contrast enhancement by representing it as an optimization problem. For this, we first introduce a scalar objective function th...
The problem of finding a collection of solutions to a combinatorial problem that is optimal in terms of an inter-solution objective function exists in many application settings. F...
We are interested in this paper to study scheduling problems in systems where many users compete to perform their respective jobs on shared parallel resources. Each user has speci...
Abstract. Collaborative filtering is a major technique to make personalized recommendations about information items (movies, books, webpages etc) to individual users. In the liter...
Image segmentation techniques are predominately based on parameter-laden optimization processes. The segmentation objective function traditionally involves parameters (i.e. weights...
