Fitness importance for online evolution
To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...

On Representing and Generating Kernels by Fuzzy Equivalence Relations
Kernels are two-placed functions that can be interpreted as inner products in some Hilbert space. It is this property which makes kernels predestinated to carry linear models of l...

Convergence and convergence rate of stochastic gradient search in the case of multiple and non-isolated extrema
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
