We present a new series of distributed constraint satisfaction algorithms, the distributed breakout algorithms, which is inspired by local search algorithms for solving the constr...
Minimal Switching Graph (MSG) is a graphical model for the constrained via minimization problem — a combinatorial optimization problem in integrated circuit design automation. F...
I consider the problem of finding all the modes of a mixture of multivariate Gaussian distributions, which has applications in clustering and regression. I derive exact formulas f...
A major difficulty in evaluating incomplete local search style algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems is the need for a source of hard problem instances that are guarante...

Global region-based active contours, like the Chan-Vese model, often make strong assumptions on the intensity distributions of the searched object and background, preventing their ...
