Let X0 be an unknown M by N matrix. In matrix recovery, one takes n < MN linear measurements y1, . . . , yn of X0, where yi = Tr(ai X0) and each ai is a M by N matrix. For measurement matrices with Gaussian i.i.d entries, it known that if X0 is of low rank, it is recoverable from just a few measurements. A popular approach for matrix recovery is Nuclear Norm Minimization (NNM): solving the conv...

In this paper‎, ‎two extended three-term conjugate gradient methods based on the Liu-Storey ({tt LS})‎ ‎conjugate gradient method are presented to solve unconstrained optimization problems‎. ‎A remarkable property of the proposed methods is that the search direction always satisfies‎ ‎the sufficient descent condition independent of line search method‎, ‎based on eigenvalue analysis‎. ‎The globa...

Beamforming methods are used extensively in a variety of different areas, where one of their main goals is to estimate the source signal amplitude s(t) from the array observations y(t) = s(t)a + i(t) + e(t), t = 1,2,..., where a is the steering vector, i(t) is the interference, and e(t) is a Gaussian noise vector [1, 2]. To estimate s(t), we may use a beamformer with weights w so that s(t) = w*...

In this paper, we describe our approach taken in the MSM2013 IE Challenge, which was aimed at concept extraction from microposts. The goal of the approach was to combine several existing NER tools which use different classification methods and benefit from their combination. Several NER tools have been chosen and individually evaluated on the challenge training set. We observed that some of the...

‎based on an eigenvalue analysis‎, ‎a new proof for the sufficient‎ ‎descent property of the modified polak-ribière-polyak conjugate‎ ‎gradient method proposed by yu et al‎. ‎is presented‎.

This deliverable defines the evaluation strategies for the Information Extraction tools that are under development within the Dot.Kom project.

PROTO-INDO-EUROPEAN is the traditional name given to the ancestor language of the Indo-European family that is spread from Iceland to Chinese Turkestan and from Scandinavia to the Near East. A PROTO-LANGUAGE (Gk. prõtos ‘first’) refers to the earliest form of a language family presupposed by all of its descendants. There will forever be major gaps in the reconstruction of proto-languages, but a...

BACKGROUND Myoclonic status epilepticus (MSE) is rarely found in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and its clinical features are not well described. We aimed to analyze MSE incidence, precipitating factors and clinical course by studying patients with JME from a large outpatient epilepsy clinic. METHODS We retrospectively screened all patients with JME treated at the Department of Neurology, ...

In this paper we introduce an extension of the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning model to study the problem of learning inclusion hierarchies of concepts (sometimes called is-a hierarchies) from random examples. Using only the hypothesis representations output over many different runs of a learning algorithm, we wish to reconstruct the partial order (with respect to generality) amon...
