Problems such as the design of distributed controllers are characterized by modularity and symmetry. However, the symmetries useful for solving them are often difficult to determ...
— 1In this paper, we will present a placement method for analog circuits. We consider both common centroid and 1-D symmetry constraints, which are the two most common types of pl...
— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
Segmenting arbitrary unions of linear subspaces is an important tool for computer vision tasks such as motion and image segmentation, SfM or object recognition. We segment subspac...
We propose a new method to partition an unlabeled dataset, called Discriminative Context Partitioning (DCP). It is motivated by the idea of splitting the dataset based only on how...
