Abstract. We present a technique that achieves local contrast enhancement by representing it as an optimization problem. For this, we first introduce a scalar objective function th...
Abstract. We consider a problem that is related to the “Universal Encoding Problem” from information theory. The basic goal is to find rules that map “partial information”...
Abstract. We consider the problem of efficient approximate learning by multilayered feedforward circuits subject to two objective functions. First, we consider the objective to ma...
Abstract— Process variations make at-speed testing significantly more difficult. They cause subtle delay changes that are distributed rather than the localized nature of a trad...

Abstract. We revisit Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a black-box optimizer for discrete and continuous problems that has been developed in the late 1960’s. This largely neglected sear...
