In group decision-making problems that involve selfinterested agents with private information, reaching socially optimal outcomes requires aligning the goals of individuals with t...
This paper analyzes theoretically the exact sampling distribution of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) without any assumption imposed by all current analyses. The distribution...
We consider a class of learning problems that involve a structured sparsityinducing norm defined as the sum of -norms over groups of variables. Whereas a lot of effort has been pu...
