—Sampling is used as a universal method to reduce the running time of computations – the computation is performed on a much smaller sample and then the result is scaled to comp...
Abstract. The aim of this work is to characterize constructive real numbers through a minimal axiomatization. We introduce, discuss and justify 16 constructive axioms. Then we addr...
We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...

It is well-known that, in unidentifiable models, the Bayes estimation provides much better generalization performance than the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. However, its ac...
Hard problems for metaheuristic search can be a source of insight for developing better methods. We examine a challenging instance of such a problem that has exactly two local opt...
