The Biased Minimax Probability Machine (BMPM) constructs a classifier which deals with the imbalanced learning tasks. In this paper, we propose a Second Order Cone Programming (SO...
A steepest descent based bit allocation method with polynomial iteration complexity for minimizing the sum of frame distortions under a total bit rate constraint is presented for ...
The maximization of a full-rank quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard in both a worst-case sense and an average sense. Interestingly, if the rank of the form is not a ...
