The class of algorithms for approximating reasoning tasks presented in this paper is based on approximating the general bucket elimination framework. The algorithms have adjustabl...
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...
Recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism responsible for the genetic diversity in humans and other organisms. Recently, there has been extensive research on understandi...
Visual categorization problems, such as object classification or action recognition,
are increasingly often approached using a detection strategy: a classifier function
is first ...
