Abstract-- A key indicator of problem difficulty in evolutionary computation problems is the landscape's locality, that is whether the genotype-phenotype mapping preserves nei...
One of the attractive feature of Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) is the so-called "topological preservation property": observations that are close to each other in the input s...
We present a new method for reconstructing the density function underlying a given histogram. First we analyze the univariate case taking the approximating function in a class of q...
Abstract. Nonnegative bivariate interpolants to scattered data are constructed using some C1 macro-element spline spaces. The methods are local, and rely on adjusting gradients at ...
Random projections have recently emerged as a powerful method for dimensionality reduction. Theoretical results indicate that the method preserves distances quite nicely; however,...
