This paper concerns a fractional function of the form xT a/ xT Bx, where B is positive definite. We consider the game of choosing x from a convex set, to maximize the function, an...
This paper introduces a nonparametric frequency-domain scheme for tuning closed-loop systems. A linear quadratic criterion is used for guiding the system towards an optimal-regula...

Deterministic annealing and relaxation labeling algorithms for classification and matching are presented and discussed. A new approach--self annealing--is introduced to bring dete...
Linear models have enjoyed great success in structured prediction in NLP. While a lot of progress has been made on efficient training with several loss functions, the problem of ...
We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...
