Given any generative classifier based on an inexact density model, we can define a discriminative counterpart that reduces its asymptotic error rate, while increasing the estima...
Several architecture analysis methods are proposed in the literature for evaluating both the structure and the behavior of architectures. A parallel between humans and software sy...
The problem of automatically tuning multiple parameters for pattern recognition Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is considered. This is done by minimizing some estimates of the gener...

In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
