Shrinkage algorithms for MMSE covariance estimation
We address covariance estimation in the sense of minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) when the samples are Gaussian distributed. Specifically, we consider shrinkage methods which are ...

Convex programming for scheduling unrelated parallel machines
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...

K-means clustering of proportional data using L1 distance
We present a new L1-distance-based k-means clustering algorithm to address the challenge of clustering high-dimensional proportional vectors. The new algorithm explicitly incorpor...

A combinatorial, primal-dual approach to semidefinite programs
Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
