Greedy geographic routing in large-scale sensor networks: a minimum network decomposition approach
In geographic (or geometric) routing, messages are expected to route in a greedy manner: the current node always forwards a message to its neighbor node that is closest to the des...

Template matching based object recognition with unknown geometric parameters
In this paper, we examine the problem of locating an object in an image when size and rotation are unknown. Previous work has shown that with known geometric parameters, an image r...

Comments on local minima free conditions in multilayer perceptrons
—In this letter we point out that multilayer neural networks (MLP’s) with either sigmoidal units or radial basis functions can be given a canonical form with positive interunit...

Local minima and plateaus in hierarchical structures of multilayer perceptrons
Local minima and plateaus pose a serious problem in learning of neural networks. We investigate the hierarchical geometric structure of the parameter space of three-layer perceptr...

Statistical tools to assess the reliability of self-organizing maps
Results of neural network learning are always subject to some variability, due to the sensitivity to initial conditions, to convergence to local minima, and, sometimes more dramat...

Random walk biclustering for microarray data
A biclustering algorithm, based on a greedy technique and enriched with a local search strategy to escape poor local minima, is proposed. The algorithm starts with an initial rand...
