Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
One common characterization of how simple hill-climbing optimization methods can fail is that they become trapped in local optima - a state where no small modi cation of the curren...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique for moving segment labels (phone and subphonetic) to optimize statistical parametric speech synthesis models. The choice of obje...
This paper describes POPE-GP, a system that makes use of the NSGA-II multiobjective evolutionary algorithm as an alternative, parameter-free technique for eliminating program bloat...
