The general purpose processor has long been the focus of intense optimization efforts that have resulted in an impressive doubling of performance every 18 months. However, recent ...

This paper develops rare event simulation methods for the estimation of portfolio credit risk -- the risk of losses to a portfolio resulting from defaults of assets in the portfol...
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...
We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
