Interactive Supercomputing with MIT Matlab
(1998-07-28)
This paper describes MITMatlab, a system that enables users of supercomputers or networked PCs to work on large data sets within Matlab transparently. MITMatlab is based on the Parallel Problems Server (PPServer), a ...
On the Noise Model of Support Vector Machine Regression
(1998-10-01)
Support Vector Machines Regression (SVMR) is a regression technique which has been recently introduced by V. Vapnik and his collaborators (Vapnik, 1995; Vapnik, Golowich and Smola, 1996). In SVMR the goodness of fit ...
Three-Dimensional Correspondence
(1998-12-01)
This paper describes the problem of three-dimensional object correspondence and presents an algorithm for matching two three-dimensional colored surfaces using polygon reduction and the minimization of an energy function. ...
Corpus-Based Techniques for Word Sense Disambiguation
(1998-05-27)
The need for robust and easily extensible systems for word sense disambiguation coupled with successes in training systems for a variety of tasks using large on-line corpora has led to extensive research into corpus-based ...
Visible Decomposition: Real-Time Path Planning in Large Planar Environments
(1998-06-01)
We describe a method called Visible Decomposition for computing collision-free paths in real time through a planar environment with a large number of obstacles. This method divides space into local visibility graphs, ...
Learning from Ambiguity
(1998-12-01)
There are many learning problems for which the examples given by the teacher are ambiguously labeled. In this thesis, we will examine one framework of learning from ambiguous examples known as Multiple-Instance learning. ...
Pre-Attentive Segmentation in the Primary Visual Cortex
(1998-06-30)
Stimuli outside classical receptive fields have been shown to exert significant influence over the activities of neurons in primary visual cortexWe propose that contextual influences are used for pre-attentive visual ...
Information Dissemination and Aggregation in Asset Markets with Simple Intelligent Traders
(1998-09-01)
Various studies of asset markets have shown that traders are capable of learning and transmitting information through prices in many situations. In this paper we replace human traders with intelligent software agents ...
Statistical Models for Co-occurrence Data
(1998-02-01)
Modeling and predicting co-occurrences of events is a fundamental problem of unsupervised learning. In this contribution we develop a statistical framework for analyzing co-occurrence data in a general setting where ...
Notes on PCA, Regularization, Sparsity and Support Vector Machines
(1998-05-01)
We derive a new representation for a function as a linear combination of local correlation kernels at optimal sparse locations and discuss its relation to PCA, regularization, sparsity principles and Support Vector Machines. ...
