Rapid advances in research and technology now allow data analysis and modeling of extremely complex systems. Methods from artificial intelligence (AI) such as Neural Networks have...
Abstract. Emergence--macro-level effects from micro-level causes--is at the heart of the conflict between reductionism and functionalism. How can there be autonomous higher level l...
Many information integration tasks require computing similarity between pairs of objects. Pairwise similarity computations are particularly important in record linkage systems, as...
Evolutionary Algorithms’ (EAs’) application to real world optimization problems often involves expensive fitness function evaluation. Naturally this has a crippling effect on ...
In many computer vision systems, it is assumed that the image brightness of a point directly reflects the scene radiance of the point. However, the assumption does not hold in mos...
