This paper presents a general framework for building classifiers that deal with short and sparse text & Web segments by making the most of hidden topics discovered from larges...
Abstract. We prove a weak version of the dynamic programming principle for standard stochastic control problems and mixed control-stopping problems, which avoids the technical di...
We present a nonsmooth optimization technique for nonconvex maximum eigenvalue functions and for nonsmooth functions which are infinite maxima of eigenvalue functions. We prove glo...
We give an informal analysis and critique of several typical “provable security” results. In some cases there are intuitive but convincing arguments for rejecting the conclusi...
An algorithm for a loaded crack partly in frictionless contact is presented. The problem is nonlinear in the sense that the equations of linear elasticity are supplemented by certa...
