The segmentation stage is a key aspect of an object-based image analysis system. However, the segmentation quality is usually difficult to evaluate for satellite images. The Synth...
This paper presents results of the BBOB-2009 benchmarking of 31 search algorithms on 24 noiseless functions in a black-box optimization scenario in continuous domain. The runtime ...

This paper describes a clustering algorithm for vector quantizers using a "stochastic association model". It offers a new simple and powerful softmax adaptation rule. Th...
10 There have been recent applications of genetic algorithms to information retrieval, mostly with respect to 11 relevance feedback. Nevertheless, they are yet to be evaluated in ...
