Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve...
— Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling non-differentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ra...
We present a novel expert-model of Query-Driven Locally Adaptive (QDLA) Fisher faces for robust face recognition. For each query face, the proposed method first fits local Fisher ...

— A key problem in deploying sensor networks in real-world applications is that of mapping, i.e. determining the location of each sensor such that subsequent tasks such as tracki...
Background: We consider the problem of parameter estimation (model calibration) in nonlinear dynamic models of biological systems. Due to the frequent ill-conditioning and multi-m...
