Can we effectively learn a nonlinear representation in time comparable to linear learning? We describe a new algorithm that explicitly and adaptively expands higher-order interaction features over base linear representations. The algorithm is designed for extreme computational efficiency, and an extensive experimental study shows that its computation/prediction tradeoff ability compares very fa...

‎Radial basis function method has been used to handle linear and‎ ‎nonlinear equations‎. ‎The purpose of this paper is to introduce the method of RBF to‎ ‎an existing method in solving nonlinear two-level iterative‎ ‎techniques and also the method is implemented to four numerical‎ ‎examples‎. ‎The results reveal that the technique is very effective‎ ‎and simple.

this paper presents the high order frequency-amplitude relationship for nonlinear transversely vibrating beams with odd and even nonlinearities using homotopy perturbation method with an auxiliary term (hpmat). the governing equations of vibrating buckled beam, beam carrying an intermediate lumped mass and quintic nonlinear beam are investigated to exhibit the reliability and ability of the pro...

Heterogeneity in the Production of Human Capital We derive a tractable nonlinear earnings function which we estimate separately for each individual in the NLSY79 data. These estimates yield five important parameters for each individual: three ability measures (two representing the ability to learn and one the ability to earn), a rate of skill depreciation, and a time discount rate. In addition,...
