Efficient update of the covariance matrix inverse in iterated linear discriminant analysis
For fast classification under real-time constraints, as required in many imagebased pattern recognition applications, linear discriminant functions are a good choice. Linear discr...

Myopic Policies for Budgeted Optimization with Constrained Experiments
Motivated by a real-world problem, we study a novel budgeted optimization problem where the goal is to optimize an unknown function f(x) given a budget. In our setting, it is not ...
