This paper describes a method for improving the final accuracy and the convergence speed of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by adapting its inertia factor in the velocity updati...
When seeking a sparse representation of a signal on a redundant basis, one might want to convey available a priori information on the observations to the optimization criterion. I...
Abstract. This paper describes a performance evaluation study in which some efficient classifiers are tested in handwritten digit recognition. The evaluated classifiers include a s...
Abstract-- We introduce join scheduling algorithms that employ a balanced network utilization metric to optimize the use of all network paths in a global-scale database federation....
