The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

We describe computationally efficient methods for Bayesian model selection. The methods select among mixtures in which each component is a directed acyclic graphical model (mixtures of DAGs or MDAGs), ...

Python program to solve problems using the simplex method, with options for graphical mode and dual method, addressing both maximization and minimization problems.

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Standard computer implementations of Dantzig's simplex method for linear programming are based upon forming the inverse of the basic matrix and updating the inverse ...

A new approach to the local and global explanation based on selecting a convex hull constructed for the finite number of points around an explained instance is proposed. The convex hull allows us to ...

Abstract: We develop a new analysis of the behavior of simplex control methods applied to multiple-input-multiple-output nonlinear control systems under uncertainties. According to such sliding-mode ...

In-context learning (ICL) enables LLMs to adapt to new tasks by including a few examples directly in the input without updating their parameters. However, selecting appropriate in-context examples ...
