We introduce a new barrier function which is not a barrier function in the usual sense: it has finite value at the boundary of the feasible region. Despite this, its iteration bou...
We present a line-search algorithm for large-scale continuous optimization. The algorithm is matrix-free in that it does not require the factorization of derivative matrices. Inste...
In this paper, we address the scalability issue plaguing graph-based semi-supervised learning via a small number of anchor points which adequately cover the entire point cloud. Cr...
Dot-products are one of the essential and recurrent building blocks in scientific computing, and often take-up a large proportion of the scientific acceleration circuitry. The ac...
