We provide a principle for semi-supervised learning based on optimizing the rate of communicating labels for unlabeled points with side information. The side information is expres...
We first formulate the problem of optimally scheduling air traffic low with sector capacity constraints as a mixed integer linear program. We then use semidefinite relaxation tech...
Helly's theorem says that, if every d+1 elements of a given finite set of convex objects in Rd have a common point, there is a point common to all of the objects in the set. I...
This paper discusses the problem of approximating data points in -dimensional Euclidean space using spherical and ellipsoidal surfaces. A closed form solution is provided for spher...
Motivated by a recent surge of interest in convex optimization techniques, convexity/concavity properties of error rates of the maximum likelihood detector operating in the AWGN ch...
