We consider the problem of constructing mean{risk models which are consistent with the second degree stochastic dominance relation. By exploiting duality relations of convex analys...
Interest in Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) is skyrocketing due to their potential to yield spectacular performance on many important computing applications. Unfortunately, writ...
Background: We developed an extendable open-source Loop-mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) signature design program called LAVA (LAMP Assay Versatile Analysis). LAVA was cre...

Abstract—In this paper, we present a novel languageindependent algorithm for extracting text-lines from handwritten document images. Our algorithm is based on the seam carving ap...
Grid search and manual search are the most widely used strategies for hyper-parameter optimization. This paper shows empirically and theoretically that randomly chosen trials are ...
