Optimal Brain Damage (OBD) is a method for reducing the number of weights in a neural network. OBD estimates the increase in cost function if weights are pruned and is a valid app...

We present exact characterizations of structures on which the greedy algorithm produces optimal solutions. Our characterization, which we call matroid embeddings, complete the par...

Let Fq be a finite field and consider the polynomial ring Fq[X]. Let Q Fq[X]. A function f : Fq[X] G, where G is a group, is called strongly Q-additive, if f(AQ + B) = f(A) + f(B...
Flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) is a general methodology which aims at providing tools for multigroup non linear classification. It consists in a nonparametric version of dis...
We consider bounded distance list decoding, such that the decoder calculates the list of all codewords within a sphere around the received vector. We analyze the performance and t...
