In the imprecise geometry model, the input is an imprecise point set, which is a family of regions $F = (R_1, \ldots,R_n)$, where for each $R_i$ one may retrieve the true point $p_i \in R_i$. By preprocessing $F$, we can construct the…

Although traditional optimization methods focus on finding a single optimal solution, most objective functions in modern machine learning problems, especially those in deep learning, often have multiple or infinite numbers of optima.…
