Classification problems in critical applications such as health care or security often require very high reliability because of the high costs of errors. In order to achieve this r...
A common approach in structural pattern classification is to define a dissimilarity measure on patterns and apply a distance-based nearest-neighbor classifier. In this paper, we i...
