— This paper reverse-engineers backoff-based random-access MAC protocols in ad-hoc networks. We show that the contention resolution algorithm in such protocols is implicitly part...

Abstract- This paper presents a new operator for genetic algorithms that enhances their convergence in the case of nonlinear problems with nonlinear equality constraints. The propo...
The extraction of optimal features, in a classification sense, is still quite challenging in the context of large-scale classification problems (such as visual recognition), inv...
Generally, evolutionary algorithms require a large number of evaluations of the objective function in order to obtain a good solution. This paper presents a simple approach to sav...
This paper presents the triple jump framework for accelerating the EM algorithm and other bound optimization methods. The idea is to extrapolate the third search point based on th...
