A linear wirelength objective more e ectively captures timing, congestion, and other global placement considerations than a squared wirelength objective. The GORDIAN-L cell placem...

Deterministic global optimization with interval analysis involves - using interval enclosures for ranges of the constraints, objective, and gradient to reject infeasible regions, r...
This paper presents a joint optimization method of a two-step conditional random field (CRF) model for machine transliteration and a fast decoding algorithm for the proposed metho...
