Jornada de Seguimiento de Proyectos en Tecnologías Informáticas, 2003

A common feature in many hard pattern recognition problems is the fact that the object of interest is statistically overwhelmed by others. The overall aim of the “Learning, Evolution and Extreme Statistics” (AE3 being its Spanish acronym) project is to study those problems in the following concrete areas: 1. Natural image statistics and applications. 2. New classification techniques in extreme sample problems. 3. Evolutionary machine learning. 4. Machine learning and evolutionary computing in finance. AE3 is a coordinated project between a research group at the Instituto de Ingenieŕıa del Conocimiento (IIC) and another at the Escuela Politécnica Superior (EPS), both in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM).
