Minimum Risk Annealing for Training Log-Linear Models
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...

On a linear programming approach to the discrete Willmore boundary value problem and generalizations
We consider the problem of finding (possibly non connected) discrete surfaces spanning a finite set of discrete boundary curves in the three-dimensional space and minimizing (glo...

Genetic Annealing Optimization: Design and Real World Applications
Both simulated annealing (SA) and the genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic and derivative-free optimization technique. SA operates on one solution at a time, while the GA mainta...
