Earlier research has shown that the problem of optimal weighted median filtering with structural constraints can be formulated as a nonconvex nonlinear programming problem in gene...
Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Planning as satisfiability (SAT-Plan) is one of the best approaches to optimal planning, which has been shown effective on problems in many different domains. However, the potenti...
I present a new estimation-of-distribution approach to program evolution where distributions are not estimated over the entire space of programs. Rather, a novel representationbui...
