This paper contains a new convergence analysis for the Lewis and Torczon generalized pattern search (GPS) class of methods for unconstrained and linearly constrained optimization. ...
In this paper, we explore the problem of mapping filtering services on large-scale heterogeneous platforms. Two important optimization criteria should be considered in such a fra...
This paper presents a new human age estimation method by using multiple feature fusion via facial image analysis. Motivated by the fact that both shape and texture information of ...
In this paper, we experimentally evaluated the effect of outlier detection methods to improve the prediction performance of fault-proneness models. Detected outliers were removed ...
We propose a novel kernel regression algorithm which takes into account order preferences on unlabeled data. Such preferences have the form that point x1 has a larger target value...
