This paper discusses a simple representation of variable-dimensional optimization problems for evolutionary algorithms. Although it was successfully applied to the optimization of ...
Advances in medical image analysis have increased the need to integrate and deploy image analysis software in daily clinical routine and in epidemiological studies. We developed a...
Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
Access to graphical images (bar charts, diagrams, line graphs, etc.) that are in a tactile form (representation through which content can be accessed by touch) is inadequate for s...
