Neural gas (NG) constitutes a very robust clustering algorithm which can be derived as stochastic gradient descent from a cost function closely connected to the quantization error...

We present a novel approach for classifying documents that combines different pieces of evidence (e.g., textual features of documents, links, and citations) transparently, through...

We present an algorithmic framework for supervised classification learning where the set of labels is organized in a predefined hierarchical structure. This structure is encoded b...
Study of contrast sensitivity of the human eye shows that our contrast discrimination sensitivity follows the weber law for suprathreshold levels. In this paper, we apply this fac...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
