We describe a class of problems motivated by numerous real-world applications where there is a collection of objects that have both a cost and a value, but where some of those obj...

Cooperative approaches have proved to be very useful in evolutionary computation due to their ability to solve efficiently high-dimensional complex problems through the cooperatio...
We present an asymptotically optimal algorithm for the max variant of the k-armed bandit problem. Given a set of k slot machines, each yielding payoff from a fixed (but unknown) d...
— We give an optimal solution to the Maximum All Request Path Grooming (MARPG) problem motivated by a traffic grooming application. The MARPG problem consists in finding the ma...

Abstract. Solutions to non-linear least squares problems play an essential role in structure and motion problems in computer vision. The predominant approach for solving these prob...
