A stochastic global optimization approach is presented for transistor sizing in CMOS VLSI circuits. This is a direct search strategy for the best design among feasible ones, with ...
— In this paper, we address a fundamental problem concerning the optimal searching strategy in terms of searching cost for the target discovery problem in wireless networks. In o...
In continuous black-box optimization, various stochastic local search techniques are often employed, with various remedies for fighting the premature convergence. This paper surve...
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have recently been proven to be among the best approaches to solving computationally hard problems. SLS algorithms typically have a number...
1 Active Appearance Models (AAM) is very powerful for extracting objects, e.g. faces, from images. It is composed of two parts: the AAM subspace model and the AAM search. While th...
