چکیده

Learning in neural networks can be formulated as global optimization of a multimodal error function that is defined over the high-dimensional space of connection weights. This global optimization is both theoretically intractable [26] [35] and difficult in practice. Traditional learning heuristics, e.g., back-propagation [31] or Boltzmann learning [11], are largely based on gradient methods or stochastic hill-climbing, reflecting traditional global optimization approaches (see, e.g., [10] for a survey). While these methods have shown promise on smaller problem instances, optimizing larger connectionist architectures raises several difficulties which motivate the present work:

Stochastic DEA with Using of Skew-Normal Distribution in Error Structure

The stochastic data envelopment analysis (SDEA) was developed considering the value ofinputs and outputs as random variables. Therefore, statistical distributions play an importantrole in this regard. The skew-normal (SN) distribution is a family of probability densityfunctions that is frequently used in practical situations. In this paper, we assume that the inputand output variables are skew-...

Stochastic First-Order Methods with Random Constraint Projection

We consider convex optimization problems with structures that are suitable for sequential treatment or online sampling. In particular, we focus on problems where the objective function is an expected value, and the constraint set is the intersection of a large number of simpler sets. We propose an algorithmic framework for stochastic first-order methods using random projection/proximal updates ...

Cluster-Based Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy Markov Random Field

Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...
