A License Plate-Recognition Algorithm for Intelligent Transportation System Applications

TL;DR: A review in the related literature presented in this paper reveals that better performance has been reported, when limitations in distance, angle of view, illumination conditions are set, and background complexity is low.

Bankruptcy prediction for credit risk using neural networks: A survey and new results

TL;DR: Inspired by one of the traditional credit risk models developed by Merton (1974), it is shown that the use of novel indicators for the NN system provides a significant improvement in the (out-of-sample) prediction accuracy.

Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Networks-Part 1 : Classification

TL;DR: A neural network classifier that creates classes by aggregating several smaller fuzzy sets into a single fuzzy set class that can add new pattern classes on the fly, refine existing pattern classes as new information is received, and it uses simple operations that allow for quick execution is described.

Nearest neighbor pattern classification

TL;DR: The nearest neighbor decision rule assigns to an unclassified sample point the classification of the nearest of a set of previously classified points, so it may be said that half the classification information in an infinite sample set is contained in the nearest neighbor.

On Estimation of a Probability Density Function and Mode

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the estimation of a probability density function and of determining the mode of the probability function is discussed. Only estimates which are consistent and asymptotically normal are constructed.
