A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
Many bacteria carry gene complexes that code for a toxin-antidote pair, e.g. colicin systems. Such gene complexes can be advantageous for its host by killing competitor bacteria wh...
In this paper we compare Mixed-Integer Evolution Strategies (MI-ES) and standard Evolution Strategies (ES) when applied to find optimal solutions for artificial test problems and ...

A variational approach to finite connectivity spin-glass-like models is developed and applied to describe the structure of optimal solutions in random satisfiability problems. Our ...
Accurate estimation of optical flow is a challenging task, which often requires addressing difficult energy optimization problems. To solve them, most top-performing methods rely ...
