We present a new method that we call Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) to deal with nonlinear discriminant analysis using kernel function operator. The underlying theory is ...
In the statistical approach for self-organizing maps (SOMs), learning is regarded as an estimation algorithm for a Gaussian mixture model with a Gaussian smoothing prior on the ce...
We study matroidal networks introduced by Dougherty et al., who showed that if a network is scalar-linearly solvable over some finite field, then the network is a matroidal network...
7 Irregular pyramids are made of a stack of successively reduced graphs embedded in the plane. Such pyramids are used within the segmentation framework to encode a hierarchy of pa...
Goal models are effective in capturing stakeholder needs at the time when features of the system-to-be have not yet been conceptualized. Relating goals to solution-oriented featur...
