Voting (or rank aggregation) is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One important voting rule is the Slater rule. It selects a ranking of the alte...
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has received increased attention in the optimization research community since its first appearance. Regarding multi-objective optimization, a con...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a search and optimization technique based on the mechanism of evolution. Recently, another sort of population-based optimization method called Estimat...
The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become ve...

In this paper, we cast discriminative training problems into standard linear programming (LP) optimization. Besides being convex and having globally optimal solution(s), LP progra...
