Optimization-Modelling Molecular Effect methods for one HTSC group were approached/determined based on previous studies. Namely, Inverse Least Squares (ILS), 2D Numerical/Graphical Optimization in primary model are presented. This contribution results deals with the Model ILS Numerical/2D Graphical modelling High Temperature Superconductors HTSCs of [Tl- Sn-Pb-Ba-Si-Mn-Mg-Cu-O] whose TC > 0° C ...

OF THE DISSERTATION Methods for advancing combinatorial optimization over graphical models By Natalia Flerova Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Irvine, 2015 Rina Dechter, Chair Graphical models are a well-known convenient tool to describe complex interactions between variables. A graphical model defines a function over many variables that factors over an underly...

Weighted search (best-first or depth-first) refers to search with a heuristic function multiplied by a constant w [Pohl (1970)]. The paper shows for the first time that for graphical models optimization queries weighted best-first and weighted depth-first Branch and Bound search schemes are competitive energy-minimization anytime optimization algorithms. Weighted best-first schemes were investi...

We propose a general and versatile framework that significantly speeds-up graphical model optimization while maintaining an excellent solution accuracy. The proposed approach relies on a multi-scale pruning scheme that is able to progressively reduce the solution space by use of a novel strategy based on a coarse-to-fine cascade of learnt classifiers. We thoroughly experiment with classic compu...
