We present a new technique for constructing and analyzing couplings to bound the convergence rate of finite Markov chains. Our main theorem is a generalization of the path couplin...
We present a novel, real-time disparity analysis frame work developed for immersive teleconferencing. This two-stage method computes a limited number of highly reliable disparitie...

We investigate an improvement to GSAT which associates a weight with each clause. We change the objective function so that GSAT moves to assignments maximizing the weight of satis...
Abstract - The paper describes how a formal model of selfadaptation [Angeline, 1995] can be expressed in terms of Cultural Algorithms. A particular form of self-adaptation concerns...
