Robust boosting algorithm against mislabeling in multiclass problems.

abstract：:We present a comprehensive framework of search methods, such as simulated annealing and batch training, for solving nonconvex optimization problems. These methods search a wider range by gradually decreasing the randomness added to the standard gradient descent method. The formulation that we define on the basis of th...

abstract：:Pairwise correlations among spike trains recorded in vivo have been frequently reported. It has been argued that correlated activity could play an important role in the brain, because it efficiently modulates the response of a postsynaptic neuron. We show here that a neuron's output firing rate critically depends on t...
