wetlands as water resources have a special place in the semi-arid plateau of iran and boundary determination is necessary for their effective conservation and conflict resolution among stakeholders that are dependent on these resources. determination of the wetland boundaries should be commensurate with environmental features affecting on it which normally extend beyond water extent. ecological...

It is a scientist’s mission to try to remain unbiased. However, certain factors play a role in scientific analyses that are not controlled by conscious thought. These factors are potentially very important in areas of science where interpretations are based on a scientist’s ability to identify patterns or structures. One such area is the micromorphology of glacial sediments. In this paper we in...

In this paper, two inverse problems of Stephen kind with local (Dirichlet) boundary conditions are investigated. In the first problem only a part of boundary is unknown and in the second problem, the whole of boundary is unknown. For the both of problems, at first, analytic expressions for unknown boundary are presented, then by using these analytic expressions for unknown boundaries and bounda...

We present the first adaptive strategy for active learning in the setting of classification with smooth decision boundary. The problem of adaptivity (to unknown distributional parameters) has remained opened since the seminal work of Castro and Nowak (2007), which first established (active learning) rates for this setting. While some recent advances on this problem establish adaptive rates in t...

This paper proposes adaptable boundary sets as a new version-space representation. It is shown that adaptable boundary sets can be adjusted to a version-space representation between boundary sets [5, 6, 7] and instance-based boundary sets [11, 12, 13]. This allows the choice of proper version-space representations to be realised dynamically during the learning phase.
