Advances in fabrication technology have resulted in a continual shrinkage of device dimensions. This has resulted in smaller device delays, greater resistance along interconnect w...
We present a system to recognize phrases based on perceptrons, and a global online learning algorithm to train them together. The recognition strategy applies learning in two laye...
A finite test set for an integer optimization problem enables us to verify whether a feasible point attains the global optimum. We establish in this paper several general results ...
We describe a scheme for solving Energy Minimization problems, which is based on the A∗ algorithm accomplished with appropriately chosen LP-relaxations as heuristic functions. Th...
Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
