Spatial Extension PSO (SEPSO) and Attractive-Repulsive PSO (ARPSO) are methods for artificial injection of diversity into particle swarm optimizers that are intended to encourage ...
We introduce anytime mechanisms for distributed optimization with self-interested agents. Anytime mechanisms retain good incentive properties even when interrupted before the opti...
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...
Power-efficient design requires reducing power dissipation in all parts of the design and during all stages of the design process subject to constraints on the system performance ...
A Laman mechanism is a flexible planar bar-and-joint framework with m ≤ 2n−3 edges and exactly k = 2n− m degrees of freedom. The slider-pinning problem is to eliminate all ...
