Vector Quantization: A Weighted Version For Time-Series Forecasting (2005)
A. Lendasse, D. Francois, V. Wertz, M. Verleysen
Nonlinear time-series prediction offers potential performance increases compared to linear models. Nevertheless, the enhanced complexity and computation time often prohibits an efficient use of...
Non-Euclidean metrics for similarity search in noisy datasets (2005)
D. Francois, V. Wertz, M. Verleysen
In the context of classification, the dissimilarity between data elements is often measured by a metric defined on the data space. Often, the choice of the metric is often disregarded and the...

M. Verleysen, D. Francois, G. Simon, V. Wertz
Modern data analysis often faces high-dimensional data.
Nonlinear Time Series Prediction by Weighted Vector Quantization (2003)
A. Lendasse, D. Francois, V. Wertz, M. Verleysen
Classical nonlinear models for time series prediction exhibit improved capabilities compared to linear ones. Nonlinear regression has however drawbacks, such as overfitting and local minima problems,...
Plasticity of oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic alloys (1993)
Zakine, C., Prioul, C., Alamo, A., Francois, D.
Two 13%Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic alloys, DT and DY, exhibiting different oxide particle size distribution and a Χ phase precipitation were studied. Their tensile properties...
