— This paper presents a new method based on Fourier and moments features to extract words and characters from a video text line in any direction for recognition. Unlike existing ...
Evolution strategy (ES) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are two of the most popular research topics for tackling real-parameter optimization problems in evolutionary computa...
In this paper we present a simple and general new No Free Lunch-like result that applies to revisiting algorithms searching arbitrary problem sets. We begin by unifying the assumpt...
An original approach, termed Divide-and-Evolve is proposed to hybridize Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) with Operational Research (OR) methods in the domain of Temporal Planning Prob...
We propose to use MapReduce to quickly test new retrieval approaches on a cluster of machines by sequentially scanning all documents. We present a small case study in which we use ...
