Journal Article European Physical Journal C · January 1, 2007 The longitudinal double spin asymmetry A1ρ for exclusive leptoproduction of ρ0 mesons, μ+N→μ+N+ρ, is studied using the COMPASS 2002 and 2003 data. The measured reaction is incoherent exclusive ρ0 production on polarised deuterons. The Q2 and x dependence o ... Full text Cite

Invariance in kernel methods by haar-integration kernels

Conference Lecture Notes in Computer Science · January 1, 2005 We address the problem of incorporating transformation invariance in kernels for pattern analysis with kernel methods. We introduce a new class of kernels by so called Haar-integration over transformations. This results in kernel functions, which are posit ... Full text Cite
