This paper builds a new theoretical connection between singular control of finite variation and optimal switching problems. This correspondence provides a novel method for solving ...
— This paper proposes two hierarchical schemes for learning, one for clustering and the other for classification problems. Both schemes can be implemented on a fuzzy lattice neu...
: Some intuitive normative principles raise vexing „detaching problems‟ by their failure to license modus ponens. I examine three such principles (a self-reliance principle and...
Spatial data mining, i.e., discovery of interesting characteristics and patterns that may implicitly exist in spatial databases, is a challenging task due to the huge amounts of s...
Hierarchical probabilistic modeling of discrete data has emerged as a powerful tool for text analysis. Posterior inference in such models is intractable, and practitioners rely on...
