In text-dependent speaker verification the speech signals have to be time-aligned. For that purpose dynamic time warping (DTW) can be used which performs the alignment by minimizi...
The bootstrap resampling method may be efficiently used to estimate the generalization error of a family of nonlinear regression models, as artificial neural networks. The main dif...

We present a new approach to bounding the true error rate of a continuous valued classifier based upon PAC-Bayes bounds. The method first constructs a distribution over classifier...
This paper overviews recent work on ant algorithms, that is, algorithms for discrete optimization which took inspiration from the observation of ant colonies foraging behavior, an...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...
