We introduce a general-purpose learning machine that we call the Guaranteed Error Machine, or GEM, and two learning algorithms, a real GEM algorithm and an ideal GEM algorithm. Th...
We propose a novel approach for activity analysis in multiple synchronized but uncalibrated static camera views. In this paper, we refer to activities as motion patterns of objects...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
When liquidating a portfolio of large blocks of risky assets, an institutional investor wants to minimize the cost as well as the risk of execution. An optimal execution strategy ...
The problem of completing a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries is often encountered in the analysis of incomplete data sets exhibiting an underlying factor model with app...
