Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) models have been shown to provide a better model for capturing polysemy and synonymy than Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). However, th...
The inefficiency of separable wavelets in representing smooth edges has motivated the researchers to pursue new two dimensional transformations. One of the successful transformat...
In this paper, we apply nonlinear techniques (Self-Organizing Maps, k-nearest neighbors and the k-means algorithm) to evaluate the official Spanish mutual funds classification. Th...
Hierarchical taxonomies are used to organize and retrieve information in many domains, especially those dealing with large and rapidly growing amounts of information. In many of t...
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
