Abstract. This text is an informal review of several randomized algorithms that have appeared over the past two decades and have proved instrumental in extracting efficiently quant...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
Information technology research has played a significant role in the high-throughput acquisition and analysis of biological information. The tremendous amount of information gath...
In this paper we introduce a new deformable model, called eigensnake, for segmentation of elongated structures in a probabilistic framework. Instead of snake attraction by speci...
In this paper we address the problem of detecting topics in large-scale linked document collections. Recently, topic detection has become a very active area of research due to its...
