Vectorization is a technique that replaces a set-valued optimization problem with a vector optimization problem. In this work, by using an extension of Gerstewitz function [1], a vectorizing function is defined to replace a given set-valued…

We show that there is a largely unexplored class of functions (positive polymatroids) that can define proper discrete metrics over pairs of binary vectors and that are fairly tractable to optimize over. By exploiting submodularity, we are…
Recent multi-task learning research argues against unitary scalarization, where training simply minimizes the sum of the task losses. Several ad-hoc multi-task optimization algorithms have instead been proposed, inspired by various…
A perspective function is a construction which combines a base function defined on a given space with a nonlinear scaling function defined on another space and which yields a lower semicontinuous convex function on the product space. Since…
