In recent years, numerous vision and learning tasks have been (re)formulated as nonconvex and nonsmooth programmings(NNPs). Although some algorithms have been proposed for particular problems, designing fast and flexible optimization…

Matching problems on 3D shapes and images are challenging as they are frequently formulated as combinatorial quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with permutation matrix constraints, which are NP-hard. In this work, we address such problems…
