The well-known marching cubes algorithm is modified to apply to the face-centered cubic (fcc) grid. Thus, the local configurations that are considered when extracting the local su...
This research presents a novel approach to solve m-machine no-wait flowshop scheduling problem. A continuous flowshop problem with total flowtime as criterion is considered appl...
A promising approach to graph clustering is based on the intuitive notion of intra-cluster density vs. inter-cluster sparsity. While both formalizations and algorithms focusing on ...
Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
Eligibility traces have been shown to speed reinforcement learning, to make it more robust to hidden states, and to provide a link between Monte Carlo and temporal-difference meth...
