Recently there has been great interest in the conducting properties of DNA because of their potential applications to nanotechnology and their role in protecting the molecule from...
We discuss various aspects of programming physics education software in Adobe Flash. Since the authoring environment for Flash is initially developed for non-programmers, it is ea...
The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present ...
In this paper, we propose a novel non-parametric clustering method based on non-parametric local shrinking. Each data point is transformed in such a way that it moves a specific ...
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...
