Training Neural Networks by Lifted Proximal Operator Machines

We present the lifted proximal operator machine (LPOM) to train fully-connected feed-forward neural networks. LPOM represents the activation function as an equivalent proximal operator and adds the proximal operators to the objective function of a …

Off-line Signature Verification Incorporating the Prior Model

This paper presents an off-line signature verification system that only requires the genuine signatures of a new user.
