This paper presents a strategy to improve the AdaBoost algorithm with a quadratic combination of base classifiers. We observe that learning this combination is necessary to get be...
This paper addresses the problem of concept sampling. In many real-world applications, a large collection of mixed concepts is available for decision making. However, the collecti...
Abstract--Image denoising methods are often designed to minimize mean-squared error (MSE) within the subbands of a multiscale decomposition. However, most high-quality denoising re...
As artificial life systems grow in number and sophistication, it is becoming increasingly important that the field agree on principled metrics for evaluating them. This report d...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Intern...
