[comp.ai] Geodetic Adaption

agm@cs.brown.edu (Axel Merk) (06/12/90)

Could anyone tell me what Geodetic Adaption exactly is, some
applications of it or some papers that are published on it? I am not
even sure whether there is a link between AI and Geodetic Adaption,
but I overheard the name today and believe it is a method to find a
robust region so that independent parameters have only small
sensitivity to a change in input. 
This would mean that if implemented as an algorithm, geodetic adaption
would not look for a single peak, but for the greates hill within some
value that is to be optimized.
