This paper investigates how the Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA) behaves in non-stationary environments when engaging in sampling and selection strategies designe...
Background: The optimal score for ungapped local alignments of infinitely long random sequences is known to follow a Gumbel extreme value distribution. Less is known about the imp...

"Experts algorithms" constitute a methodology for choosing actions repeatedly, when the rewards depend both on the choice of action and on the unknown current state of t...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
Abstract—In this paper, we propose an optimal quadtree (QT)based motion estimator for video compression. It is optimal in the sense that for a given bit budget for encoding the d...
