We propose a multivariate methodology based on Functional Gradient Descent to estimate and forecast time-varying expected bond returns. Backtesting our procedure on US monthly dat...
We describe a new approach for phoneme recognition which aims at minimizing the phoneme error rate. Building on structured prediction techniques, we formulate the phoneme recogniz...
Abstract-- In robot deployment problems, the fundamental issue is to optimize a steady state performance measure that depends on the spatial configuration of a group of robots. For...
This paper examines the problem of estimating linear time-invariant state-space system models. In particular it addresses the parametrization and numerical robustness concerns tha...
