— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...
We highlight intriguing analogies between the diameter of a polytope and the largest possible total curvature of the associated central path. We prove continuous analogues of the ...
Generalization bounds depending on the margin of a classifier are a relatively recent development. They provide an explanation of the performance of state-of-the-art learning syste...
Abstract. By applying recent results in optimization transfer, a new algorithm for kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis is provided that makes use of a non-smooth penalty on the coe...

We propose a gossip-based distributed algorithm for Gaussian mixture learning, Newscast EM. The algorithm operates on network topologies where each node observes a local quantity ...
