In this paper we explore private computation built on vector addition and its applications in privacypreserving data mining. Vector addition is a surprisingly general tool for imp...
The method of conjugate gradients provides a very effective way to optimize large, deterministic systems by gradient descent. In its standard form, however, it is not amenable to ...
Abstract. Level set methods are a popular way to solve the image segmentation problem in computer image analysis. A contour is implicitly represented by the zero level of a signed ...
On large datasets, the popular training approach has been stochastic gradient descent (SGD). This paper proposes a modification of SGD, called averaged SGD with feedback (ASF), tha...
