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...
Many facial image analysis methods rely on learningbased techniques such as Adaboost or SVMs to project classifiers based on the selection of local image filters (e.g., Haar and...
Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...
We propose a visual event recognition framework for consumer domain videos by leveraging a large amount of loosely labeled web videos (e.g., from YouTube). First, we propose a new...
