Inverse kinematics is the problem of manipulating the pose of an articulated figure in order to achieve a desired goal disregarding inertia and forces. One can approach the probl...
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...
We propose a new fast algorithm for solving one of the standard formulations of image restoration and reconstruction which consists of an unconstrained optimization problem where t...
Newton’s method is a basic tool in numerical analysis and numerous applications, including operations research and data mining. We survey the history of the method, its main ide...
Generally, evolutionary algorithms require a large number of evaluations of the objective function in order to obtain a good solution. This paper presents a simple approach to sav...
