Similarity search in image database is commonly implemented as nearest-neighbor search in a feature space of the images. For that purpose, a large number of different features as ...
As a new pattern classification method, nearest feature line (NFL) provides an effective way to tackle the sort of pattern recognition problems where only limited data are availab...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
Traditional client-server content distribution techniques usually suffer from scalability problems when dealing with large client population or sizable content. The advent of peer...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
