This paper proposes a method for computing fast approximations to support vector decision functions in the field of object detection. In the present approach we are building on an...
In multicriteria optimization, several objective functions, conflicting with each other, have to be minimized simultaneously. We propose a new efficient method for approximating t...
The paper addresses the convergence of a decentralized Robbins-Monro algorithm for networks of agents. This algorithm combines local stochastic approximation steps for finding th...
: Classical classification and clustering based on equivalence relations are very important tools in decision-making. An equivalence relation is usually determined by properties of...
