It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
Evolution Strategies (ES) for black-box optimization of a function f : Rn → R are investigated. Namely, we consider the cumulative step-size adaptation (CSA) for the variance of...
The most popular model used in automatic speech recognition is the hidden Markov model (HMM). Though good performance has been obtained with such models there are well known limit...
This paper analyzes different representations for permutation flowshop problems. This is done using forma analysis to assess the quality of these representations with respect to m...
Detecting faces in images is a key step in numerous computer vision applications, such as face recognition or facial expression analysis. Automatic face detection is a difficult ...
