Solving the Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) problem optimally is known to be NP-Hard for both make-span and total arrival time minimization. While many algorithms have been developed to solve MAPF problems, there is no dominating optimal…

Deep neural networks are getting larger. Their implementation on edge and IoT devices becomes more challenging and moved the community to design lighter versions with similar performance. Standard automatic design tools such as…

Natural gradient descent (NGD) provided deep insights and powerful tools to deep neural networks. However the computation of Fisher information matrix becomes more and more difficult as the network structure turns large and complex. This…

Multi-task feature learning aims to identity the shared features among tasks to improve generalization. It has been shown that by minimizing non-convex learning models, a better solution than the convex alternatives can be obtained.…

Moving Target Defense (MTD) has emerged as a newcomer into the asymmetric field of attack and defense, and shuffling-based MTD has been regarded as one of the most effective ways to mitigate DDoS attacks. However, previous work does not…

A new 1D search method is proposed for minimizing an arbitrary real valued function. The algorithm is a modification of the interval halving method which is based on dividing the interval of uncertainty by three points into four equal…

Bayesian Decision Trees (DTs) are generally considered a more advanced and accurate model than a regular Decision Tree (DT) because they can handle complex and uncertain data. Existing work on Bayesian DTs uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo…

State-of-the-art adversarial attacks on neural networks use expensive iterative methods and numerous random restarts from different initial points. Iterative FGSM-based methods without restarts trade off performance for computational…
