Affinity functions are the core components in negative selection to discriminate self from non-self. It has been shown that affinity functions such as the r-contiguous distance an...
: In agglomerative hierarchical clustering, pair-group methods suffer from a problem of non-uniqueness when two or more distances between different clusters coincide during the ama...
We address the issue of low-level segmentation of vector-valued images, focusing on the case of color natural images. The proposed approach relies on the formulation of the problem...
Given a genome, i.e., a long string over a fixed finite alphabet, the problem is to find short (dis)similar substrings. This computationally intensive task has many biological appl...

This paper describes a method for optimizing the cost matrix of any approximate string matching algorithm based on the Levenshtein distance. The method, which uses genetic algorit...
