Conditional Random Field models have proved effective for several low-level computer vision problems. Inference in these models involves solving a combinatorial optimization probl...
Preference queries aim to retrieve from large databases those objects that better match user’s requirements. Approaches proposed so far in the DB field for specifying preference...
We consider a generalized semi-infinite optimization problem (GSIP) of the form (GSIP) min{f(x) Ix E M}, where M = {x E N"lhi(x ) = 0, i = 1,...,m, G(x,y) /> 0, y E Y(x)} ...
Sensor deployment is a critical issue, as it affects the cost and detection capabilities of a wireless sensor network. Although many previous efforts have addressed this issue, mo...
A set XN of N points on the unit sphere is a spherical t-design if the average value of any polynomial of degree at most t over XN is equal to the average value of the polynomial o...
