Message-Passing Algorithms for MAP Estimation Using DC Programming
We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...

An approximate dual subgradient algorithm for multi-agent non-convex optimization
We consider a multi-agent optimization problem where agents aim to cooperatively minimize a sum of local objective functions subject to a global inequality constraint and a global ...

A POMDP Approximation Algorithm That Anticipates the Need to Observe
This paper introduces the even-odd POMDP, an approximation to POMDPs in which the world is assumed to be fully observable every other time step. The even-odd POMDP can be converte...

Opposition-based particle swarm algorithm with cauchy mutation
—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has shown its fast search speed in many complicated optimization and search problems. However, PSO could often easily fall into local optima. T...
