We study the design of truthful mechanisms that do not use payments for the generalized assignment problem (GAP) and its variants. An instance of the GAP consists of a bipartite g...
Many popular optimization algorithms, like the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA), use heuristic-based "controllers" that modulate the behavior of the optimizer during ...
Background: The problem of protein structure prediction consists of predicting the functional or native structure of a protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. This probl...
In Proc. of IEEE Conf. on CVPR'2000, Vol.I, pp.222-227, Hilton Head Island, SC, 2000 In many vision applications, the practice of supervised learning faces several difficulti...
We construct a class of envelope surfaces in Rd , more precisely envelopes of balls. An envelope surface is a closed C1 (tangent continuous) manifold wrapping tightly around the u...
