Given a random $n \times n$ symmetric matrix $\boldsymbol W$ drawn from the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), we consider the problem of certifying an upper bound on the maximum value of the quadratic form $\boldsymbol x^\top \boldsymbol…

Recently, deep learning approaches have provided solutions to difficult problems in wireless positioning (WP). Although these WP algorithms have attained excellent and consistent performance against complex channel environments, the…

It is well known that selecting a good Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) formulation is crucial for an effective solution with state-of-the art solvers. While best practices and guidelines for constructing good formulations abound, there is…

Recently, the interpretability of deep learning has attracted a lot of attention. A plethora of methods have attempted to explain neural networks by feature visualization, saliency maps, model distillation, and so on. However, it is hard…

MAP is the problem of finding a most probable instantiation of a set of variables in a Bayesian network given some evidence. Unlike computing posterior probabilities, or MPE (a special case of MAP), the time and space complexity of…

Data-driven algorithm design, that is, choosing the best algorithm for a specific application, is a crucial problem in modern data science. Practitioners often optimize over a parameterized algorithm family, tuning parameters based on…

This paper deals with the estimation of the modes of an univariate mixture when the number of components is known and when the component density are well separated. We propose an algorithm based on the minimization of the "kp" criterion we…

Considering the worst-case scenario, junction tree algorithm remains the most general solution for exact MAP inference with polynomial run-time guarantees. Unfortunately, its main tractability assumption requires the treewidth of a…

Relu Fully Connected Networks are ubiquitous but uninterpretable because they fit piecewise linear functions emerging from multi-layered structures and complex interactions of model weights. This paper takes a novel approach to piecewise…

We consider the global minimization of a particular type of minimum structured optimization problems wherein the variables must belong to some basic set, the feasible domain is described by the intersection of a large number of functional…

This extended abstract presents an overview on NP-hard optimization problems with multiple interdependent components. These problems occur in many real-world applications: industrial applications, engineering, and logistics. The fact that…

This paper discusses the computational resolution and presents numerical results for solving affine combinations of Heaviside composite optimization problems (abbreviated as A-HSCOPs) by a progressive integer programming (abbreviated as…

Future advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles rely on accurate localization, which can be divided into three classes: a) viewpoint localization about local references (e.g., via vision-based localization), b) absolute…

One fruitful formulation of Deep Networks (DNs) enabling their theoretical study and providing practical guidelines to practitioners relies on Piecewise Affine Splines. In that realm, a DN's input-mapping is expressed as per-region affine…

While known algorithms for sensitivity analysis and parameter tuning in probabilistic networks have a running time that is exponential in the size of the network, the exact computational complexity of these problems has not been established…

We examine ordered graphs, defined as graphs with linearly ordered vertices, from the perspective of homomorphisms (and colorings) and their complexities. We demonstrate the corresponding computational and parameterized complexities, along…

Polynomial system solving has seen major progress in both theory and practice over the past decade. A landmark achievement was addressing Smale's 17th problem, establishing average-case polynomial-time algorithms for computing approximate…

We formalize the problem of selecting the optimal set of options for planning as that of computing the smallest set of options so that planning converges in less than a given maximum of value-iteration passes. We first show that the problem…

In this paper, we model the salient object detection problem under a probabilistic framework encoding the boundary connectivity saliency cue and smoothness constraints in an optimization problem. We show that this problem has a closed form…

We present a new mixed-integer programming (MIP) approach for offline multiple change-point detection by casting the problem as a globally optimal piecewise linear (PWL) fitting problem. Our main contribution is a family of strengthened MIP…
