Background: Generally speaking, different classifiers tend to work well for certain types of data and conversely, it is usually not known a priori which algorithm will be optimal ...
This paper considers a number of selection schemes commonly used in modern genetic algorithms. Specifically, proportionate reproduction, ranking selection, tournament selection, a...
Tournament selection has been widely used and studied in evolutionary algorithms. To supplement the study of tournament selection, this paper provides several models describing th...
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been shown to be an efficient clustering tool. However, NMF`s batch nature necessitates recomputation of whole basis set for new samples...
Background: The design of long oligonucleotides for spotted DNA microarrays requires detailed attention to ensure their optimal performance in the hybridization process. The main ...
