Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
Abstract. Sensor networks monitor physical phenomena over large geographic regions. Scientists can gain valuable insight into these phenomena, if they understand the underlying dat...
Abstract. In this paper we consider latent variable models and introduce a new U-likelihood concept for estimating the distribution over hidden variables. One can derive an estimat...

Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
A distributed multimedia information system allows users to access data of different modalities, from different data sources, ranked by various combinationsof criteria. In [6], Fa...
