A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
We address the problem of selecting sensors so as to minimize the error in estimating the position of a target. We consider a generic sensor model where the measurements can be in...
We present an extension of the development of an alternating minimization (AM) method1 for the computation of a specimen's complex transmittance function (magnitude and phase...
Consider the decomposition of a signal into features that undergo transformations drawn from a continuous family. Current methods discretely sample the transformations and apply s...

Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
