We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...
The stable marriage problem has recently been studied in its general setting, where both ties and incomplete lists are allowed. It is NP-hard to find a stable matching of maximum ...
We propose a new approach for automatic melody extraction from polyphonic audio, based on Probabilistic Latent Component Analysis (PLCA). An audio signal is first divided into vo...
In this paper, the problem of estimating the damping factor and frequency parameters from multiple cisoids in noise is addressed. We rst propose a data matrix which generalizes th...
We study and characterize social-aware forwarding protocols in opportunistic networks and we derive bounds on the expected message delivery time for two different routing protocol...
