Abstract. Taking inspiration from approximate ranking, this paper investigates the use of rank-based Support Vector Machine as surrogate model within CMA-ES, enforcing the invarian...
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows involves finding the lowest-cost set of routes to deliver goods to customers, which have service time windows, using a homogeneous ...
Consider the complete n-vertex graph whose edge-lengths are independent exponentially distributed random variables. Simultaneously for each pair of vertices, put a constant flow ...
We describe an empirical study on the feature space of interest points for natural images. Although local features have been widely used in image analysis as building blocks of va...
In this paper, we put forth the first join tree propagation algorithm that selectively applies either arc reversal (AR) or variable elimination (VE) to build the propagated messag...
