This paper shows how universal learning can be achieved with expert advice. To this aim, we specify an experts algorithm with the following characteristics: (a) it uses only feedba...
We address the problem of computing critical area for missing material defects in a circuit layout. The extraction of critical area is the main computational problem in VLSI yield...
In this paper, we introduce a new genetic representation -- a splicing/decomposable (S/D) binary encoding, which was proposed based on some theoretical guidance and existing recom...
The paper compares two popular strategies for solving propositional satis ability, backtracking search and resolution, and analyzes the complexity of a directional resolution algo...
Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in machine learning, control theory, and discrete geometry. This c...
