Modeling of Front Evolution with Graph Cut Optimization
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...

Distributed hyper-heuristics for real parameter optimization
Hyper-heuristics (HHs) are heuristics that work with an arbitrary set of search operators or algorithms and combine these algorithms adaptively to achieve a better performance tha...

Discovery of Optimized Web Service Configurations Using a Hybrid Semantic and Statistical Approach
We present a Semantic Optimized Service Discovery (SemOSD) approach capable of handling Web service search requests on a fine-grained level of detail where we augment semantic ser...

Worst-case distribution analysis of stochastic programs
We show that for even quasi-concave objective functions the worst-case distribution, with respect to a family of unimodal distributions, of a stochastic programming problem is a u...

Correlation Robust Stochastic Optimization
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
