We propose an efficient method for complex optimization problems that often arise in computer vision. While our method is general and could be applied to various tasks, it was mai...
The problem of concurrent mapping and localization has received considerable attention in the mobile robotics community. Existing approachescan largely be grouped into two distinc...

Abstract--This paper presents a solution to the problem of performance-driven buffered routing tree generation for VLSI circuits. Using a novel bottom-up construction algorithm and...
The blind source separation (BSS) problem is often solved by maximizing objective functions reflecting the statistical independence between outputs. Since global maximization may...
We present a novel method for information-theoretic exploration, leveraging recent work on mapping and localization. We describe exploration as the constrained optimization proble...
