—The greedy wire-sizing algorithm (GWSA) has been experimentally shown to be very efficient, but no mathematical analysis on its convergence rate has ever been reported. In this...
We provide a new analysis of an efficient margin-based algorithm for selective sampling in classification problems. Using the so-called Tsybakov low noise condition to parametrize...
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

We formulate the problem of reconstructing the shape and radiance of a scene as the minimization of the information divergence between blurred images, and propose an algorithm that...
In this paper, we present the results of an experimental comparison among seven different weight initialization methods in twelve different problems. The comparison is performed by...
