Discrete optimization using Quantum Annealing on sparse Ising models
Frontiers in Physics, 2014 This paper discusses techniques for solving discrete optimization problems using quantumannealing. Practical issues likely to affect the computation include precision limitations, finitetemperature, bounded energy range, sparse connectivity, and small ...

Contractual Penalty in Labour Law? A Brief Reflection on the Agreement on Monetary Compensation in Paragraph 62(8) and Paragraph 83a(5) of the Labour Code [PDF]
Societas et Iurisprudentia, 2022 In the paper, the author deals with the issue of a contractual penalty in labour relations, while the reason for reopening this issue was the ongoing unclear nature of the agreement on monetary compensation in the provision of § 62 paragraph 8 and § 83a ...

Implementation Aspects in Regularized Structural Equation Models
Algorithms, 2023 This article reviews several implementation aspects in estimating regularized single-group and multiple-group structural equation models (SEM). It is demonstrated that approximate estimation approaches that rely on a differentiable approximation of non ...

A Penalty Function Promoting Sparsity Within and Across Groups
, 2016 We introduce a new weakly-convex penalty function for signals with a group behavior. The penalty promotes signals with a few number of active groups, where within each group, only a few high magnitude coefficients are active.

Coding overcomplete representations of audio using the MCLT [PDF]
, 2008 We propose a system for audio coding using the modulated complex lapped transform (MCLT). In general, it is difficult to encode signals using overcomplete representations without avoiding a penalty in rate-distortion performance.

Spatially multi-scale dynamic factor modeling via sparse estimation
International Journal of Mathematics for Industry, 2019 In many spatio-temporal data, their spatial variations have inherent global and local structures. The spatially continuous dynamic factor model (SCDFM) decomposes the spatio-temporal data into a small number of spatial and temporal variations, where the ...

Penalized Composite Quasi-Likelihood for Ultrahigh-Dimensional Variable Selection
, 2010 In high-dimensional model selection problems, penalized simple least-square approaches have been extensively used. This paper addresses the question of both robustness and efficiency of penalized model selection methods, and proposes a data-driven ...
