The identification of speedpaths is required for post-silicon (PS) timing validation, and it is currently becoming timeconsuming due to manufacturing variations. In this paper we...
Because of their simplicity, risk measures are often employed in financial risk evaluations and related decisions. In fact, the risk measure ρ(X) of a random variable X is a rea...
Variational methods are frequently used to approximate or bound the partition or likelihood function of a Markov random field. Methods based on mean field theory are guaranteed ...

Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in control theory, machine learning, and discrete geometry. This c...
Randomized protocols for hiding private information can be regarded as noisy channels in the information-theoretic sense, and the inference of the concealed information can be reg...
