Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) constitute a well-known type of probabilistic neural networks. One of their many successful applications is in image segmentation, where spatially constrained mixture… (More)
We present a method to solve initial and boundary value problems using artificial neural networks. A trial solution of the differential equation is written as a sum of two parts. The first part… (More)
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for analysis of microarray images. First, a new gridding algorithm is proposed for determining the individual spots and their borders. Then, a Gaussian… (More)
A novel method for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, based on grammatical evolution is presented. The method forms generations of trial solutions expressed in an analytical closed… (More)
A stochastic global optimization method based on Multistart is presented. In this, the local search is conditionally applied with a probability that takes in account the topology of the objective… (More)
Partial differential equations (PDEs) with boundary conditions (Dirichlet or Neumann) defined on boundaries with simple geometry have been successfully treated using sigmoidal multilayer perceptrons… (More)
We present three new stopping rules for Multistart based methods. The first uses a device that enables the determination of the coverage of the bounded search domain. The second is based on the… (More)
A new stochastic clustering algorithm is introduced that aims to locate all the local minima of a multidimensional continuous and differentiable function inside a bounded domain. The accompanying… (More)
In this article we present an incremental method for building a mixture model. Given the desired number of clusters K ≥ 2, we start with a two-component mixture and we optimize the likelihood by… (More)
