Iterated smoothing for accelerated gradient convex minimization in signal processing
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a non-smooth convex problem using first-order methods. The number of iterations required to guarantee a certain accuracy for ...

A New Preconditioner for the Parallel Solution of Positive Definite Toeplitz Systems
We introduce a new preconditioner for solving a symmetric Toeplitz system of equations by the conjugate gradient method. This choice leads to an algorithm which is particularly sui...

Incremental Natural Actor-Critic Algorithms
We present four new reinforcement learning algorithms based on actor-critic and natural-gradient ideas, and provide their convergence proofs. Actor-critic reinforcement learning m...

Optimization with EM and Expectation-Conjugate-Gradient
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

Accelerating active contour algorithms with the Gradient Diffusion Field
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
