New Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) methods for dynamic and noisy function optimization are studied in this paper. The new methods are based on the hierarchical PSO (H-PSO) and a...
There are various representations for encoding graph structures, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and circuits, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Here we analyz...
This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
We consider the finite binary words Z(n), n ∈ N, defined by the following selfsimilar process: Z(0) := 0, Z(1) := 01, and Z(n + 1) := Z(n) · Z(n − 1), where the dot · deno...
Modular structure is ubiquitous in real-world complex networks. The detection of this type of organization into modules gives insights in the relationship between topological stru...
