Our al exploits the special structure of the sum of squared error measure in Equation (1); hence, the other objective functions are outside the scope of this paper. The gradient vector and Hessian matrix are given by g g(9) JT rand H H(9) JT J S, where J is the m x n Jacobian matrix of r, and S denotes the matrix of second-derivative terms. If S is simply omitted based on the "small residual" assumption, then the Hessian matrix reduces to the Gauss-Newton model Hessian: i.e., JT J. Furthermore, a family of quasi-Newton methods can be applied to approximate term S alone, leading to the augmented Gauss-Newton model Hessian (see, for example, Mizutani [2] and references therein).

We present the embedded trees algorithm, an iterative technique for estimation of Gaussian processes defined on arbitrary graphs. By exactly solving a series of modified problems on embedded spanning trees,it computes the conditional means with an efficiency comparable to or better than other techniques. Unlike other methods, theembedded trees algorithm also computes exact error covariances. Theerror covariance computation is most efficient for graphs in which removing a small number of edges reveals an embedded tree.In this context, we demonstrate that sparse loopy graphs can provide a significant increase in modeling power relative totrees, with only a minor increase in estimation complexity. 1 Introduction Graphical models are an invaluable tool for defining and manipulating probability distributions. In modeling stochastic processes with graphical models, two basic problems arise: (i) specifying a class of graphs with which to model or approximate the process; and (ii) determining efficient techniques for statistical inference.

A neural network based approach is presented for controlling two distinct types of nonlinear systems. The first corresponds to nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties where the parameters occur nonlinearly. The second corresponds to systems for which stabilizing control structures cannot be determined. The proposed neural controllers are shown to result in closed-loop system stability under certain conditions.
