In this paper parallel universes are defined by their relation to multi-criteria optimization combined with an explicit or implicit link for the unambiguous identification of an ...
Recently, Multiple Background Models (M-BMs) [1, 2] have been shown to be useful in speaker verification, where the M-BMs are formed based on different Vocal Tract Lengths (VTLs)...
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
Abstract: We investigate the structure of model selection problems via the bias/variance decomposition. In particular, we characterize the essential structure of a model selection ...
We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...
