We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
We consider preemptive offline and online scheduling on identical machines and uniformly related machines in the hierarchical model, with the goal of minimizing the makespan. In t...
In this paper we introduce and investigate a new" path optimization problem which we denote as the All Hops Optimal Path AHOP problem. The problem involves identifying, for a...
A token is hidden in one of several boxes and then the boxes are locked. The probability of placing the token in each of the boxes is known. A searcher is looking for the token by...

Image registration is the process of geometrically aligning
two or more images. In this paper we describe a method
for registering pairs of images based on thin-plate spline
