It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
—Motion scalability is designed to improve the coding efficiency of a scalable video coding framework, especially in the medium to low range of decoding bit rates and spatial re...
This paper describes a new simple operator for Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) to climb ridged landscapes. Categories and Subject Descriptors: I.2.8 [Computing Methodologies]: Proble...
Memetic algorithms have become to gain increasingly important for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems. Typically, the extent of the application of local search...
We present an account of designing and evaluating a university-wide expert search engine. We performed system-based evaluation to determine the optimal retrieval settings and an ex...
