The proliferation of all kinds of devices with different security requirements and constraints, and the arms-race nature of the security problem are increasingly demanding the de...
Scale-space representation of an image is a significant way to generate features for classification. However, for a specific classification task, the entire scale-space may not be...
The nDCG measure has proven to be a popular measure of retrieval effectiveness utilizing graded relevance judgments. However, a number of different instantiations of nDCG exist, d...
We investigate the effects of precision on the efficiency of various local search algorithms on 1-D unimodal functions. We present a (1 + 1)-EA with adaptive step size which fin...

When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...
