A novel no-reference blockiness metric that can automatically and perceptually quantify blocking artifacts of DCT coding is presented. The proposed metric is built upon the specif...
One of the most popular algorithms for blind equalization is the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA), due to its simplicity and low computational cost. However, if the step-size is n...

Evolutionary models typically rely on a single level of evolution for training a team of cooperating agents. I present a model that evolves at two levels—an “organizational”...
Abstract. A data-adaptive approach for cDNA microarray image enhancement is presented. Through the weighting coefficients adaptively determined from local microarray image statisti...

Abstract. We investigate the problem of using function approximation in reinforcement learning where the agent’s policy is represented as a classifier mapping states to actions....
