Many unsupervised algorithms for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, such as locally linear embedding (LLE) and Laplacian eigenmaps, are derived from the spectral decompositions o...
—The concept of p-cycle (preconfigured protection cycle) allows fast and efficient span protection in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. To design p-cycles f...
Clustering performance can often be greatly improved by
leveraging side information. In this paper, we consider constrained
clustering with pairwise constraints, which specify
s...
A significant challenge in genetic programming is premature convergence to local optima, which often prevents evolution from solving problems. This paper introduces to genetic pro...
This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent behavior. An Icarus program e...
