—In this paper we examine a technique by which fault tolerance can be embedded into a feedforward network leading to a network tolerant to the loss of a node and its associated w...
Automata models of learning systems introduced in the 1960s were popularized as learning automata (LA) in a survey paper in 1974 [1]. Since then, there have been many fundamental a...
We consider multivariate density estimation with identically distributed observations. We study a density estimator which is a convex combination of functions in a dictionary and ...
Sturm-Triggs iteration is a standard method for solving the projective factorization problem. Like other iterative algorithms, this method suffers from some common drawbacks such ...
