On-line adaptive optimal timing control of switched systems
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing over the switching times for a multi-modal dynamic system when the complete cost-to-go is not available. The instant...

Overlaying classifiers: a practical approach for optimal ranking
ROC curves are one of the most widely used displays to evaluate performance of scoring functions. In the paper, we propose a statistical method for directly optimizing the ROC cur...

General variable neighborhood search for the continuous optimization
We suggest a new heuristic for solving unconstrained continuous optimization problems. It is based on a generalized version of the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic. Diff...

Non-negative Independent Component Analysis Algorithm Based on 2D Givens Rotations and a Newton Optimization
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the Independent Component Analysis problem when the hidden sources are non-negative (Non-negative ICA). This problem is formulated as a non-lin...
