We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
— Metaheuristics such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and the Cross-Entropy method use probabilistic modelling and inference to generate candidate solutions in optimizat...

The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...

In this paper an evolutionary algorithm is used for evolving gaits in a walking biped robot controller. The focus is fast learning in a real-time environment. An incremental appro...
This paper deals with performance evaluation of rasterto-vector conversion algorithms. We briefly review the past work, and focus our attention on a method proposed by Phillips a...
