Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...

Robust one-class clustering using hybrid global and local search
Unsupervised learning methods often involve summarizing the data using a small number of parameters. In certain domains, only a small subset of the available data is relevant for ...

Sparsity, redundancy and optimal image support towards knowledge-based segmentation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...

A Game-Theoretic Approach to Competitive Learning in Self-Organizing Maps
Abstract. Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) is a powerful tool for clustering and discovering patterns in data. Competitive learning in the SOM training process focusses on finding a neu...
