for functional features Manuel Loth, Philippe Preux, INRIA, LIFL, CNRS, University of Lille, France, [email protected] Abstract: We consider the LASSO problem. Here, we propose ECON, a LARS-like algorithm that deals with parametrized features and finds their best parametrization. 1. From LARS to ECON 1.1 LARS The LASSO problem: • given N samples (xi, yi) ∈ D × R, find ŷ ≡ ∑k=K k=0 wkφk, w...

We present a quantum mechanical memristive Nb/Al/Al2O3/NbxOy/Au device which consists of an ultra-thin memristive layer (NbxOy) sandwiched between an Al2O3 tunnel barrier and a Schottky-like contact. A highly uniform current distribution for the LRS (low resistance state) and HRS (high resistance state) for areas ranging between 70 μm2 and 2300 μm2 were obtained, which indicates a non-filamenta...

The paper discusses how current in ‡ation targeting should be modeled, and argues that it is better represented as a commitment to a targeting rule (a rule specifying operational objectives for monetary policy or a condition for the target variables), than as a commitment to a simple instrument rule (like a Taylor rule).

The Government and the Riksdag (the Swedish parliament) therefore faced a choice to make a very rapid decision to provide the banks with support without actually knowing how extensive this support would have to be or to suffer a financial crisis with unforeseeable consequences for the Swedish economy. The decision made was the only reasonable solution to save the Swedish banks. However, the Rik...
