Abstract: We present SpineTrack, the first comprehensive dataset for 2D spine pose estimation in unconstrained settings, addressing a crucial need in sports analytics, healthcare, and realistic ...

Abstract: This article proposes distributed algorithms free of Hessian for both time-invariant and time-varying optimization (TVO) problems. To this end, a subsystem is introduced to estimate the ...

THEY PLAN TO NAVIGATE ALL THIS. THIS ONCOMING STORM IS EXPECTED TO BRING CHALLENGES FOR EVERYONE, AND THAT’S ESPECIALLY THE CASE WITH PEOPLE LIVING IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH SOME OF THE STEEPEST STREETS.

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the performance of stochastic coordinate descent algorithms for convex optimization problems from the novel perspective of regret minimization. Specifically, we ...

PRIMA is a package for solving general nonlinear optimization problems without using derivatives. It provides the reference implementation for Powell's derivative-free optimization methods, i.e., ...

A round-table discussion of President Trump’s first year back in office. By Michael Barbaro In the 365 days since Donald J. Trump was sworn into his second term as president, he has fired, pardoned, ...

For most Americans and Europeans alive today, a world of anarchy probably never felt quite real. Since 1945, the United States and its allies crafted and maintained an order that while neither fully ...
