In the classical binary genetic algorithm, although crossover within a building block (BB) does not always cause a decrease in fitness, any decrease in fitness results from the ...
Say that f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} -approximates g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} if the functions disagree on at most an fraction of points. This paper contains two results about approximatio...
A variational formulation of an image analysis problem has the nice feature that it is often easier to predict the eect of minimizing a certain energy functional than to interpret...
The representation and modelling of regions is an important topic in computer vision. In this paper, we represent a region via a level set of a ‘phase field’ function. The fu...
Safely updating software at remote sites is a cautious balance of enabling new functionality and avoiding adverse effects on existing functionality. A useful first step in this p...
