— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
This paper presents an optimization-based halftoning technique that preserves the structure and tone similarities between the original and the halftone images. By optimizing an ob...

This work introduces a highly constrained school timetabling problem which was modeled from the requirements of a German high school. The concept for solving the problem uses a hyb...
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
Sparse Orthonormal Transforms (SOT) has recently been proposed as a data compression method that can achieve sparser representations in transform domain. Given initial conditions,...
