We consider an automated agent that needs to coordinate with a human partner when communication between them is not possible or is undesirable (tactic coordination games). Specifically, we examine situations where an agent and human attempt to coordinate their choices among several alternatives with equivalent utilities. We use machine learning algorithms to help the agent predict human choices...

Coordinate descent (CD) algorithms have become the method of choice for solving a number of optimization problems in machine learning. They are particularly popular for training linear models, including linear support vector machine classification, LASSO regression, and logistic regression. We consider general CD with non-uniform selection of coordinates. Instead of fixing selection frequencies...

Correctly propagating waves from overhanging reflectors is crucial for imaging in complex geology. This type of reflections are difficult or impossible to use in imaging using one-way downward continuation, because they violate an intrinsic assumption of this imaging method, i.e. vertical upward propagation of reflection data. Riemannian wavefield extrapolation is one of the techniques develope...

The conflict between the manufacturer and the retailer except the double marginalization is an important issue in order to coordinate the dual-channel supply chain. In the general case of the non-linear stochastic demand which also is affected by the sales effort of the retailer, this paper designs a new buy-back contract to coordinate the dual-channel supply chain. On the base of developing th...

In this paper a data hiding method based on pixel pair matching (PPM) is presented. Pixel pair matching uses a pair of pixel intensity values as reference coordinates and searches the coordinate neighborhood according to the given message digit. The searched coordinate which encodes the message digit is put in place of the pixel pair. Exploiting modification direction (EMD), Diamond Encoding (D...

This paper establishes a straightforward interconnection between the Kronecker canonical form and the special coordinate basis of linear systems. Such an interconnection yields an alternative approach for computing the Kronecker canonical form, and as a by-product, the Smith form, of the system matrix of general multivariable time-invariant linear systems. The overall procedure involves the tra...

The addition of AlCl3 to four-coordinate boranes of the general formula (C-N-chelate)BCl2 results in halide abstraction and formation of three-coordinate borenium cations of the general formula [(C-N-chelate)BCl]+. The latter react with both arylstannanes and arylsilanes by boro-destannylation and -desilylation, respectively, to form arylated boranes. Catalytic quantities of AlCl3 were sufficie...

in this research a three dimensional model is explained which simulate the oil spill behavior inseas. this model is the developed version of previous two-dimensional study of aghajanloo et al., 2013.because of three-dimensional nature of the oil dispersion/movement in water, this is a more realistic model of oil spill transport and fate in marine environment. the model is based on eulerian appr...

With explosion of data size and limited storage space at a single location, data are often distributed at different locations. We thus face the challenge of performing largescale machine learning from these distributed data through communication networks. In this paper, we study how the network communication constraints will impact the convergence speed of distributed machine learning optimizat...

This report describes a general method for rendering search coordinate system independent, Adaptive Encoding (AE). Adaptive Encoding is applicable to any continuous domain search algorithm and includes (incremental) changes of the coordinate system, that is, changes of the representation of solutions. One attractive way to change the representation within AE is derived from the Covariance Matri...
