When designing any type of fuzzy rule based system, considerable effort is placed in identifying the correct number of fuzzy sets and the fine tuning of the corresponding membersh...
Sensor networks are poised for increasingly wider uses in many military and civil applications. We present a bootstrapping protocol for a class of sensor networks in which the net...
The intelligent reformulation or restructuring of a belief network can greatly increase the efficiency of inference. However, time expended for reformulation is not available for ...
The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been widely studied and shown success in many application fields. However, the performance of SVM drops significantly when it is applied to the pr...
