This paper describes Pairwise Bisection: a nonparametric approach to optimizing a noisy function with few function evaluations. The algorithm uses nonparametric reasoning about si...
We propose a highly efficient framework for penalized likelihood kernel methods applied to multiclass models with a large, structured set of classes. As opposed to many previous a...
We consider the problem of optimizing multilabel MRFs, which is in general NP-hard and ubiquitous in low-level computer vision. One approach for its solution is to formulate it as...

In this work, we present a new bottom-up algorithmfor decision tree pruning that is very e cient requiring only a single pass through the given tree, and prove a strong performanc...
—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
