Abstract. We consider the general nonlinear optimization problem in 01 variables and provide an explicit equivalent convex positive semidefinite program in 2n - 1 variables. The op...
— Traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) suffers from the premature convergence problem, which usually results in PSO being trapped in local optima. This paper presents an...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
The problem of optimally deploying a heterogeneous set of sensing devices in environments with differential surveillance requirements is presented. The problem is formulated in th...
This paper introduces a new method for identifying named-entity (NE) transliterations in bilingual corpora. Recent works have shown the advantage of discriminative approaches to t...
