Abstract. We describe a scalable parallel implementation of the self organizing map (SOM) suitable for datamining applications involving clustering or segmentation against large da...

Most local convergence analyses of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for nonlinear programming make strong assumptions about the solution, namely, that the activ...
—In a standard transform coding scheme of images or video, the decoder can be implemented by a table-lookup technique without the explicit use of an inverse transformation. In th...
Abstract--We present an explicit formula for B-spline convolution kernels; these are defined as the convolution of several B-splines of variable widths and degrees . We apply our r...
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...
