A wide variety of machine learning problems can be described as minimizing a regularized risk functional, with different algorithms using different notions of risk and differen...

Although each iteration of the popular kMeans clustering heuristic scales well to larger problem sizes, it often requires an unacceptably-high number of iterations to converge to ...
We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
This paper introduces a new method to maximize kurtosisbased contrast functions. Such contrast functions appear in the problem of blind source separation of convolutively mixed so...
The decomposition method is currently one of the major methods for solving support vector machines. An important issue of this method is the selection of working sets. In this pape...
