In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
Abstract--This paper considers a psychoacoustically constrained and distortion minimized speech enhancement algorithm. Noise reduction, in general, leads to speech distortion, and ...
