In order to overcome the drawbacks of mathematical optimization techniques, soft computing algorithms have been vigorously introduced during the past decade. However, there are sti...
Abstract. Support Vector Machines (SVM) have been applied successfully in a wide variety of fields in the last decade. The SVM problem is formulated as a convex objective function...
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...
Past research on automatic laughter detection has focused mainly on audio-based detection. Here we present an audiovisual approach to distinguishing laughter from speech and we sh...
Autonomous robots, such as automatic vacuum cleaners, toy robot dogs, and autonomous vehicles for the military, are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life. As a result the need ...
