A discriminative method is proposed for learning monotonic transformations of the training data while jointly estimating a large-margin classifier. In many domains such as document classification, image histogram classification and gene microarray experiments, fixed monotonic transformations can

Classification

The concept of transformation of access rights was recently introduced in the literature by Sandhu. It has been previously shown that monotonic transformations unify a number of diverse access control mechanisms such as ampli#cation, copy #ags, separation of duties and synergistic authorization

Non-monotonic transformation kinetics and the morphological stability of phase boundaries in thermoelastic materials

-sirable properties: the set is closed under 1. continuous (and thus projective) transformation of image coordinates and 2. monotonic transformation of im-age intensities. An efficient (near linear complexity) and practically fast de-tection algorithm (near frame rate) is presented for an affinely-invariant stable

;uniform" patterns for any quantization of the angular space and for any spatial resolution and presents a method for combining multiple operators for multiresolution analysis. The proposed approach is very robust in terms of gray-scale variations since the operator is, by definition, invariant against any monotonic

We analyze the safety question for the Non-Monotonic Transform (NMT) model, an access control model that encompasses a wide variety of practical access control mechanisms. In general, safety analysis, i.e whether it is possible for a specified subject to obtain a given access right for a certain

of their wavelet transform are explained. We then prove that the local maxima of a wavelet transform detect the location of irregular structures and provide numerical procedures to compute their Lipschitz exponents. The wavelet transform of singularities with fast oscillations have a different behavior that we

. The results obtained show simple and multiple hysteresis phenomena and limit cycle activity. The latter is particularly interesting since the frequency ofthe limit cycle oscillationis found to be a monotonic function of stimulus intensity. Finally, it is proved that the existence of limit cycle dynamics

: Reasoning about knowledge seems to play a fundamental role in distributed systems. Indeed, such reasoning is a central part of the informal intuitive arguments used in the design of distributed protocols. Communication in a distributed system can be viewed as the act of transforming the system
