Stochastic Desertification

Haim Weissmann, Nadav M. Shnerb

The process of desertification is usually modeled as a first order transition, where a change of an external parameter (e.g. precipitation) leads to a catastrophic bifurcation foll…

Efficient coordinate-descent for orthogonal matrices through Givens rotations

Uri Shalit, Gal Chechik

Optimizing over the set of orthogonal matrices is a central component in problems like sparse-PCA or tensor decomposition. Unfortunately, such optimization is hard since simple ope…
