In this paper we consider the competition on the Internet between information providers to maximise their exposure to a relevant audience. Spammers and Search engine gamers adopt a...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
The sliding window approach is the most widely used technique to detect faces in an image. Usually a classifier is applied on a regular grid and to speed up the scanning, the gri...
Derandomization by means of mirrored samples has been recently introduced to enhance the performances of (1, λ)and (1 + 2)-Evolution-Strategies (ESs) with the aim of designing fa...
