The syntenic distance between two genomes is given by the minimum number of fusions, fissions, and translocations required to transform one into the other, ignoring the order of g...
Discrete optimization problemsarise throughout many real world domainsincluding planning, decision making, and search. NP-hardin general, these problems require novel approachesto...
This paper investigates how the Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA) behaves in non-stationary environments when engaging in sampling and selection strategies designe...
The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
In this paper, we propose a Web image search result organizing method to facilitate user browsing. We formalize this problem as a salient image region pattern extraction problem. ...
