Comparison of Monte Carlo and Deterministic Methods for Non-Adaptive Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...

Global Coordination of Local Linear Models
High dimensional data that lies on or near a low dimensional manifold can be described by a collection of local linear models. Such a description, however, does not provide a glob...

Global Optimization for Alignment of Generalized Shapes
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm to solve global shape registration problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel twocompo...

A continuation method for semi-supervised SVMs
Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines (S3 VMs) are an appealing method for using unlabeled data in classification: their objective function favors decision boundaries which do n...

Globally Convergent Cutting Plane Method for Nonconvex Nonsmooth Minimization
: Nowadays, solving nonsmooth (not necessarily differentiable) optimization problems plays a very important role in many areas of industrial applications. Most of the algorithms d...
