A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
We present the design and implementation of a Minesweeper game, augmented with a digital assistant. The assistant uses contraint programming techniques to help the player, and is a...
The use of bit-patterned media is one of the approaches being investigated to extend magnetic recording densities to 1 Tbit/in2 and beyond. In patterned media, track pitch may be s...
We consider the problem of learning incoherent sparse and lowrank patterns from multiple tasks. Our approach is based on a linear multi-task learning formulation, in which the spa...
