— This paper investigates the effect of non-zero SNR margin and coding gap on the maximum sum rate and achievable rate region of the Gaussian Multiple-Access Channel (MAC). Frequ...
Maximum margin clustering (MMC) has recently attracted considerable interests in both the data mining and machine learning communities. It first projects data samples to a kernel...
Given a unlabelled set of points X ∈ RN belonging to k groups, we propose a method to identify cluster assignments that provides maximum separating margin among the clusters. We...
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

When searching the space of possible plans for combined planning and scheduling problems we often reach a local maximum and must either backtrack or otherwise modify the plan to m...
