A simple learning rule is derived, the VAPS algorithm, which can be instantiated to generate a wide range of new reinforcementlearning algorithms. These algorithms solve a number ...
In this paper, we present a data aggregated maximum lifetime routing scheme for wireless sensor networks. We address the problem of jointly optimizing data aggregation and routing...
—We propose an efficient and robust solution for image set classification. A joint representation of an image set is proposed which includes the image samples of the set and thei...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
The lifting scheme provides a general and flexible tool for the construction of wavelet decompositions and perfect reconstruction filter banks. In this paper we propose an adaptiv...
