It has long been known that lateral inhibition in neural networks can lead to a winner-take-all competition, so that only a single neuron is active at a steady state. Here we show...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for learning generic visual vocabulary. We use diffusion maps to au-tomatically learn a semantic visual vocabulary from ab-undant quantiz...

This paper reports our recent exploration of the layer-by-layer learning strategy for training a multi-layer generative model of patches of speech spectrograms. The top layer of t...

In this paper, a novel training method is proposed to increase the classification efficiency of support vector machine (SVM). The efficiency of the SVM is determined by the number ...
We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
