The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...
In the last few years, the University of Aveiro, Portugal, has been offering several distance learning courses over the Web, using e-learning platforms. Experience showed that dif...
We examine whether and how the Multiagent Plan Coordination Problem, the problem of resolving interactions between the plans of multiple agents, can be cast as a Distributed Const...
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
Speed and availability of information, delivered in past years by Internet technologies, made it easier for any company to outsource primary activities, which resulted in unbundli...
