Iterative MILP methods for vehicle-control problems

by Matthew G. Earl, Senior Member - IEEE Transactions on Robotics
"... Abstract—Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is a powerful tool for planning and control problems because of its modeling capability and the availability of good solvers. However, for large models, MILP methods suffer computationally. In this paper, we present iterative MILP algorithms that addr ..."

General methods for monitoring convergence of iterative simulations

by Stephen P. Brooksand, Andrew Gelman - J. Comput. Graph. Statist , 1998
"... We generalize the method proposed by Gelman and Rubin (1992a) for monitoring the convergence of iterative simulations by comparing between and within variances of multiple chains, in order to obtain a family of tests for convergence. We review methods of inference from simulations in order to develo ..."

An iterative method for the solution of the eigenvalue problem of linear differential and integral

by Cornelius Lanczos , 1950
"... The present investigation designs a systematic method for finding the latent roots and the principal axes of a matrix, without reducing the order of the matrix. It is characterized by a wide field of applicability and great accuracy, since the accumulation of rounding errors is avoided, through the ..."

the process of "minimized iterations". Moreover, the method leads to a well convergent successive approximation procedure by which the solution of integral equations of the Fredholm type and the solution of the eigenvalue problem of linear differential and integral operators may be accomplished.

A fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm with application to . . .

by Amir Beck, Marc Teboulle , 2009
"... We consider the class of Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithms (ISTA) for solving linear inverse problems arising in signal/image processing. This class of methods is attractive due to its simplicity, however, they are also known to converge quite slowly. In this paper we present a Fast Iterat ..."

"GrabCut” -- interactive foreground extraction using iterated graph cuts

by Carsten Rother, Vladimir Kolmogorov, Andrew Blake - ACM TRANS. GRAPH , 2004
"... The problem of efficient, interactive foreground/background segmentation in still images is of great practical importance in image editing. Classical image segmentation tools use either texture (colour) information, e.g. Magic Wand, or edge (contrast) information, e.g. Intelligent Scissors. Recently ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1130 (36 self) - Add to MetaCart
. Recently, an approach based on optimization by graph-cut has been developed which successfully combines both types of information. In this paper we extend the graph-cut approach in three respects. First, we have developed a more powerful, iterative version of the optimisation. Secondly, the power

Iterative point matching for registration of free-form curves and surfaces

by Zhengyou Zhang , 1994
"... A heuristic method has been developed for registering two sets of 3-D curves obtained by using an edge-based stereo system, or two dense 3-D maps obtained by using a correlation-based stereo system. Geometric matching in general is a difficult unsolved problem in computer vision. Fortunately, in ma ..."

Unsupervised word sense disambiguation rivaling supervised methods

by David Yarowsky - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 33RD ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1995
"... This paper presents an unsupervised learning algorithm for sense disambiguation that, when trained on unannotated English text, rivals the performance of supervised techniques that require time-consuming hand annotations. The algorithm is based on two powerful constraints -- that words tend to have ..."

Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Dynamic Systems

by Jun S. Liu, Rong Chen - Journal of the American Statistical Association , 1998
"... A general framework for using Monte Carlo methods in dynamic systems is provided and its wide applications indicated. Under this framework, several currently available techniques are studied and generalized to accommodate more complex features. All of these methods are partial combinations of three ..."

ingredients: importance sampling and resampling, rejection sampling, and Markov chain iterations. We deliver a guideline on how they should be used and under what circumstance each method is most suitable. Through the analysis of differences and connections, we consolidate these methods into a generic

BIRCH: an efficient data clustering method for very large databases

by Tian Zhang, Raghu Ramakrishnan, Miron Livny - In Proc. of the ACM SIGMOD Intl. Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD , 1996
"... Finding useful patterns in large datasets has attracted considerable interest recently, and one of the most widely st,udied problems in this area is the identification of clusters, or deusel y populated regions, in a multi-dir nensional clataset. Prior work does not adequately address the problem of ..."
