In recent years, available audio corpora are rapidly increasing from fast growing Internet and digital libraries. How to classify and retrieve sound files relevant to the user'...
Stochastic local search algorithms can now successfully solve MAXSAT problems with thousands of variables or more. A key to this success is how effectively the search can navigate...

This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
We propose a two-state Markov chain model of degraded document images. The model generates random and burst noise to simulate isolated pixel reversal as well as blurring of a larg...
† In this paper, we propose a parallel randomized algorithm, called Parallel Fast Assignment using Search Technique (PFAST), for scheduling parallel programs represented by direc...
