The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
The phase detector is a main building block in phaselocked loop (PLL) applications. FPGAs permit the realtime implementation of the CORDIC algorithm which offers an efficient solu...
Spectral feature selection identifies relevant features by measuring their capability of preserving sample similarity. It provides a powerful framework for both supervised and uns...
For the generation of freeform models, sketching interfaces have raised an increasing interest due to their intuitive approach. It is now possible to infer a 3D model directly fro...
This paper investigates the application of randomized algorithms for large scale SVM learning. The key contribution of the paper is to show that, by using ideas random projections...
