Abstract. We study the application of limited-width MDDs (multivalued decision diagrams) as discrete relaxations for combinatorial optimization problems. These relaxations are used...

In this work we present the Partner Units Problem as a novel challenge for optimization methods. It captures a certain type of configuration problem that frequently occurs in indu...

Abstract. The almost square rectangle packing problem involves packing all rectangles with sizes 1 × 2 to n × (n + 1) (almost squares) into an enclosing rectangle of minimal area...
We derive a convex relaxation for cardinality constrained Principal Component Analysis (PCA) by using a simple representation of the L1 unit ball and standard Lagrangian duality. ...
Abstract Fingerprint classification represents an important preprocessing step in fingerprint identification, which can be very helpful in reducing the cost of searching large fing...
In this paper, we present a novel and robust road tracking system for vision-based personal navigation. Novelty of the work includes the use of multiple Condensation filters to tra...
This paper presents a pair of identification technique that automatically detect scripts and orientations of document images suffering from various types of document degradation. ...
Rationing is an inventory policy that allows prioritization of demand classes. It enables the inventory system to provide higher service levels for critical demand classes. In thi...
