Abstract. We introduce two min-max problems: the first problem is to minimize the supremum of finitely many rational functions over a compact basic semi-algebraic set whereas the s...
In this paper we define semidefinite packing programs and describe an algorithm to approximately solve these problems. Semidefinite packing programs arise in many applications s...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...
The received signal strength (RSS)-based approach to wireless localization offers the advantage of low cost and easy implementability. To circumvent the nonconvexity of the convent...

This paper presents a generic method for solving Markov random fields (MRF) by formulating the problem of MAP estimation as 0-1 quadratic programming (QP). Though in general solvi...
