The compression of geometric structures is a relatively new field of data compression. Since about 1995, several articles have dealt with the coding of meshes, using for most of them the following approach: the vertices of the mesh are…

Developing accurate off-policy estimators is crucial for both evaluating and optimizing for new policies. The main challenge in off-policy estimation is the distribution shift between the logging policy that generates data and the target…

In our previous work [Singler, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 52 (2014), no. 2, 852-876], we considered the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of time varying PDE solution data taking values in two different Hilbert spaces. We considered various…

High throughput satellites (HTSs) outpace traditional satellites due to their multi-beam transmission. The rise of low Earth orbit mega constellations amplifies HTS data rate demands to terabits/second with acceptable latency. This surge in…

The aim of this paper is to design computationally-efficient and optimal algorithms for the online and stochastic exp-concave optimization settings. Typical algorithms for these settings, such as the Online Newton Step (ONS), can guarantee…

Weighted geometric set-cover problems arise naturally in several geometric and non-geometric settings (e.g. the breakthrough of Bansal-Pruhs (FOCS 2010) reduces a wide class of machine scheduling problems to weighted geometric set-cover).…

This paper presents the Distributed Primal Outer Approximation (DiPOA) algorithm for solving Sparse Convex Programming (SCP) problems with separable structures, efficiently, and in a decentralized manner. The DiPOA algorithm development…

Semidefinite programming is a fundamental problem class in convex optimization, but despite recent advances in solvers, solving large-scale semidefinite programs remains challenging. Generally the matrix functions involved are spectral or…

Projection methods aim to reduce the dimensionality of the optimization instance, thereby improving the scalability of high-dimensional problems. Recently, Sakaue and Oki proposed a data-driven approach for linear programs (LPs), where the…

Sketched gradient algorithms have been recently introduced for efficiently solving the large-scale constrained Least-squares regressions. In this paper we provide novel convergence analysis for the basic method {\it Gradient Projection…

The use of optimal transport (OT) distances, and in particular entropic-regularised OT distances, is an increasingly popular evaluation metric in many areas of machine learning and data science. Their use has largely been driven by the…

We address the problem of projecting a point onto a quadratic hypersurface, more specifically a central quadric. We show how this problem reduces to finding a given root of a scalar-valued nonlinear function. We completely characterize one…

For a Hilbert space setting Chambolle and Pock introduced an attractive first-order algorithm which solves a convex optimization problem and its Fenchel dual simultaneously. We present a generalization of this algorithm to Banach spaces.…

In this paper, we consider the problem of partitioning a polygon into a set of connected disjoint sub-polygons, each of which covers an area of a specific size. The work is motivated by terrain covering applications in robotics, where the…

In this paper we propose for the first time the hyperparameter optimization (HPO) algorithm POCAII. POCAII differs from the Hyperband and Successive Halving literature by explicitly separating the search and evaluation phases and utilizing…

Optimal pulse patterns (OPPs) are a modulation method in which the switching angles and levels of a switching signal are computed via an offline optimization procedure to minimize a performance metric, typically the harmonic distortions of…

We propose in this paper a general framework for deriving loss functions for structured prediction. In our framework, the user chooses a convex set including the output space and provides an oracle for projecting onto that set. Given that…

Optimal contribution selection (OCS) is a selective breeding method that manages the conversion of genetic variation into genetic gain to facilitate short-term competitiveness and long-term sustainability in breeding programmes. Traditional…

The proximity operator of a convex function is a natural extension of the notion of a projection operator onto a convex set. This tool, which plays a central role in the analysis and the numerical solution of convex optimization problems,…

MPC (Model predictive control)-based motion planning and trajectory generation are essential in applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles, robotic manipulators, and rocket control. However, the real-time implementation of such…
