We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
The incremental updating of classifiers implies that their internal parameter values can vary according to incoming data. As a result, in order to achieve high performance, incre...
Skyline queries ask for a set of interesting points from a potentially large set of data points. If we are traveling, for instance, a restaurant might be interesting if there is n...
Let f(X, Y ) ∈ Z[X, Y ] be an irreducible polynomial over Q. We give a Las Vegas absolute irreducibility test based on a property of the Newton polytope of f, or more precisely,...
In the paper we propose a new evolutionary algorithm for induction of univariate regression trees that associate leaves with simple linear regression models. In contrast to typical...
