We present a new optimization technique that yields the first FPTAS for several geometric problems. These problems reduce to optimizing a sum of non-negative, constant description...
In a concept learning problem, imbalances in the distribution of the data can occur either between the two classes or within a single class. Yet, although both types of imbalances ...
Consider a set of labels L and a set of trees T = {T (1) , T (2) , . . . , T (k) } where each tree T (i) is distinctly leaf-labeled by some subset of L. One fundamental problem is ...
Abstract. We study the problem of learning partitions using equivalence constraints as input. This is a binary classification problem in the product space of pairs of datapoints. ...
Optimizing programs for modern multiprocessor or vector platforms is a major important challenge for compilers today. In this work, we focus on one challenging aspect: the SIMD ALI...
