When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

New Bounds and Approximations for the Error of Linear Classifiers
In this paper, we derive lower and upper bounds for the probability of error for a linear classifier, where the random vectors representing the underlying classes obey the multivar...

A New Approximation Method of the Quadratic Discriminant Function
Abstract. For many statistical pattern recognition methods, distributions of sample vectors are assumed to be normal, and the quadratic discriminant function derived from the proba...

Incremental Algorithms for Approximate Compilation
Compilation is an important approach to a range of inference problems, since it enables linear-time inference in the size S of the compiled representation. However, the main drawb...

Approximate String Matching for Geographic Names and Personal Names
The problem of matching strings allowing errors has recently gained importance, considering the increasing volume of online textual data. In geotechnologies, approximate string mat...
