Generic Methods for Optimization-Based Modeling
“Energy” models for continuous domains can be applied to many problems, but often suffer from high computational expense in training, due to the need to repeatedly minimize t...

Towards feature selection in network
Traditional feature selection methods assume that the data are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). In real world, tremendous amounts of data are distributed in a net...

Guaranteeing Practical Convergence in Algorithms for Sensor and Source Localization
This paper considers localization of a source or a sensor from distance measurements. We argue that linear algorithms proposed for this purpose are susceptible to poor noise perfor...
