— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
Abstract. A trivalent diagram is a connected, two-colored bipartite graph (parallel edges allowed but not loops) such that every black vertex is of degree 1 or 3 and every white ve...
— Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are a class of discrete-time Artificial Neural Networks that are used to model dynamic systems. A recently introduced supervised learning method, wh...
Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-theart algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve t...
