Based on the Proximate Optimality Principle in metaheuristics, a Population Based Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for dealing with difficult combinatorial optimization problem...
Abstract. This paper is centered on the problem of merging (possibly conflicting) information coming from different sources. Though this problem has attracted much attention in pro...
We describe a novel video player that uses Temporal Semantic Compression (TSC) to present a compressed summary of a movie. Compression is based on tempo which is derived from film...
