Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
Abstract. Web portals provide an efficient gateway to a broad range of Eservices, resources and information. Web portals need to evolve towards being adaptive in nature, so that th...
While the literature contains several adaptive sampling techniques for statistical comparison of competing simulated system configurations and for embedded statistical computation...
Recommender Systems, based on collaborative filtering (CF), aim to accurately predict user tastes, by minimising the mean error achieved on hidden test sets of user ratings, afte...
This work proposes a new approach to the retrieval of images from text queries. Contrasting with previous work, this method relies on a discriminative model: the parameters are sel...
