This paper proposes a new smart crossover operator for a Pittsburgh Learning Classifier System. This operator, unlike other recent LCS approaches of smart recombination, does not ...
Conventional clustering methods typically assume that each data item belongs to a single cluster. This assumption does not hold in general. In order to overcome this limitation, w...

EM algorithm is a very popular iteration-based method to estimate the parameters of Gaussian Mixture Model from a large observation set. However, in most cases, EM algorithm is no...
We study a class of overrelaxed bound optimization algorithms, and their relationship to standard bound optimizers, such as ExpectationMaximization, Iterative Scaling, CCCP and No...
Bias/variance analysis is a useful tool for investigating the performance of machine learning algorithms. Conventional analysis decomposes loss into errors due to aspects of the le...
