A Local Linear Embedding (LLE) module enhances the performance of two Evolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms employed as search tools in global optimization problems. The LLE em...
In this paper, we propose a component-based discriminative approach for face alignment without requiring initialization1 . Unlike many approaches which locally optimize in a small ...
—The optimal performance-complexity tradeoff for error-correcting codes at rates strictly below the Shannon limit is a central question in coding theory. This paper proposes a nu...

In this paper we investigate some properties and algorithms related to a text sparsification technique based on the identification of local maxima in the given string. As the numb...
