This paper deals with the packing problem of circles and non-convex polygons, which can be both translated and rotated into a strip with prohibited regions. Using the Ф-function technique, a ...

The goal is to design a large scale optimization algorithm for machine learning tasks that can run on decentralized compute environments (such as peer-to-peer systems). Requires ability to program and ...
