The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider two types of inverse sorting problems. The first type is an inverse sorting problem under weighted Hamming distance with bound constraints, wh...
Coreference resolution is governed by syntactic, semantic, and discourse constraints. We present a generative, model-based approach in which each of these factors is modularly enc...
A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
Prior knowledge over general nonlinear sets is incorporated into nonlinear kernel classification problems as linear constraints in a linear program. The key tool in this incorpora...
