There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...
The use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become an integral part of sea-ice monitoring and analysis in the polar regions. An important task in sea-ice analysis is to segment ...
In this paper we study approximate landmark-based methods for point-to-point distance estimation in very large networks. These methods involve selecting a subset of nodes as landm...

We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
