We study the convergence properties of an alternating proximal minimization algorithm for nonconvex structured functions of the type: L(x, y) = f(x)+Q(x, y)+g(y), where f : Rn → ...
General purpose object-oriented programs typically aren’t embarrassingly parallel. For these applications, finding enough concurrency remains a challenge in program design. To ...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
Abstract—Tiny, wireless, sensors embedded in a large number of Internet-capable devices–smart phones, cameras, cars, toys, medical instruments, home appliances and energy meter...
Large-scale data analysis has become increasingly important for many enterprises. Recently, a new distributed computing paradigm, called MapReduce, and its open source implementat...
