Some search problems are most directly specified by boolean combinations of pseudo-boolean constraints. We study a logic PL(PB) whose formulas are of this form, and design local-s...
This paper discusses the linearly weighted combination of estimators in which the weighting functions are dependent on the input. We show that the weighting functions can be deriv...
MultiBoosting is an extension to the highly successful AdaBoost technique for forming decision committees. MultiBoosting can be viewed as combining AdaBoost with wagging. It is abl...
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...

Although Support Vector Machines(SVM) succeed in classifying several image databases using image descriptors proposed in the literature, no single descriptor can be optimal for ge...
