Title: Analysis of equivalence relation in joint sparse recovery, Abstract: The joint sparse recovery problem is a generalization of the single measurement vector problem which is widely studied in Compressed Sensing and it aims to recovery a set of jointly sparse vectors. i.e. have nonzero entries concentrated at comm...

Title: The Stochastic Firefighter Problem, Abstract: The dynamics of infectious diseases spread is crucial in determining their risk and offering ways to contain them. We study sequential vaccination of individuals in networks. In the original (deterministic) version of the Firefighter problem, a fire breaks out at som...

Title: Generalizations of the 'Linear Chain Trick': Incorporating more flexible dwell time distributions into mean field ODE models, Abstract: Mathematical modelers have long known of a "rule of thumb" referred to as the Linear Chain Trick (LCT; aka the Gamma Chain Trick): a technique used to construct mean field ODE m...

Title: Combining Neural Networks and Tree Search for Task and Motion Planning in Challenging Environments, Abstract: We consider task and motion planning in complex dynamic environments for problems expressed in terms of a set of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) constraints, and a reward function. We propose a methodology b...

Title: BT-Nets: Simplifying Deep Neural Networks via Block Term Decomposition, Abstract: Recently, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been regarded as the state-of-the-art classification methods in a wide range of applications, especially in image classification. Despite the success, the huge number of parameters blocks ...

Title: Resampling Strategy in Sequential Monte Carlo for Constrained Sampling Problems, Abstract: Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are a class of Monte Carlo methods that are used to obtain random samples of a high dimensional random variable in a sequential fashion. Many problems encountered in applications often ...
