ConStellaration: A dataset of QI-like stellarator plasma boundaries and optimization benchmarks

NeurIPS 2025poster

Stellarators are magnetic confinement devices under active development to deliver steady-state carbon-free fusion energy. Their design involves a high-dimensional, constrained optimization problem that requires expensive physics simulations and significant domain expertise. Recent advances in plasma…

Partial Optimality of Dual Decomposition for MAP Inference in Pairwise MRFs

AISTATS 2019poster

Markov random fields (MRFs) are a powerful tool for modelling statistical dependencies for a set of random variables using a graphical representation. An important computational problem related to MRFs, called maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference, is finding a joint variable assignment with the maxi…

Minimizing Trust Leaks for Robust Sybil Detection

ICML 2017poster

Sybil detection is a crucial task to protect online social networks (OSNs) against intruders who try to manipulate automatic services provided by OSNs to their customers. In this paper, we first discuss the robustness of graph-based Sybil detectors SybilRank and Integro and refine theoretically thei…
