Optimization problems with norm-bounding constraints arise in a variety of applications, including portfolio optimization, machine learning, and feature selection. A common approach to these problems involves relaxing the norm constraint…

LP relaxation-based message passing algorithms provide an effective tool for MAP inference over Probabilistic Graphical Models. However, different LP relaxations often have different objective functions and variables of differing…

In this paper we extend the core branch-and-bound algorithm of an RLT-based solver for continuous polynomial optimization, RAPOSa, to handle mixed-integer problems. We do so by a direct adaptation, in which LP relaxations are replaced with…

As a recent noticeable topic, domain generalization aims to learn a generalizable model on multiple source domains, which is expected to perform well on unseen test domains. Great efforts have been made to learn domain-invariant features by…
