—We propose a combinatorial solution to determine the optimal elastic matching of a deformable template to an image. The central idea is to cast the optimal matching of each temp...
Image restoration problems are often converted into large-scale, nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems. Most existing minimization methods are not efficient for solving su...
In this paper, we present a framework that supports experimenting with evolutionary hardware design. We describe the framework’s modules for composing evolutionary optimizers an...
The following paper describes a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm which incorporates a novel collaboration formation mechanism. It encourages rewarding of components participati...
The BFGS quasi-Newton method is benchmarked on the noisy BBOB-2009 testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum number of function evaluations of about 104 times the s...
