We present a simple framework for dealing with search spaces consisting of permutations. To demonstrate its usefulness, we build upon it a simple (1 + 1)-evolutionary algorithm fo...
Abstract. Recently, the authors described a training method for a convolutional neural network of threshold neurons. Hidden layers are trained by by clustering, in a feed-forward m...

We study the properties of the agnostic learning framework of Haussler [Hau92] and Kearns, Schapire and Sellie [KSS94]. In particular, we address the question: is there any situat...
We give a fast rejection scheme that is based on image segments and demonstrate it on the canonical example of face detection. However, instead of focusing on the detection step w...
Abstract. In distributed computer networks where resources are under decentralized control, selfish users will generally not work towards one common goal, such as maximizing the o...
