Abstract Computer vision is full of problems elegantly expressed in terms of energy minimization. We characterize a class of energies with hierarchical costs and propose a novel hi...

Abstract. Training neural networks is a complex task of great importance in the supervised learning field of research. In this work we tackle this problem with five algorithms, a...
Opposed to linear schemes, nonlinear function approximation allows to obtain a dimension independent rate of convergence. Unfortunately, in the presence of data noise typical algo...
Inductive algorithms rely strongly on their representational biases, Constructive induction can mitigate representational inadequacies. This paper introduces the notion of a relat...
Abstract. Compared to normal learning algorithms, for example backpropagation, the optimal bounded ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm has some better properties, such as faster convergence,...
