In this paper, we develop a mixed-size placement tool, Dragon2005, to solve large scale placement problems effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach based on min-cut partition...
This paper introduces a niching technique called GAS (S stands for species) which dynamically creates a subpopulation structure (taxonomic chart) using a radius function instead of...
We propose an efficient method for complex optimization problems that often arise in computer vision. While our method is general and could be applied to various tasks, it was mai...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
Abstract. Real-world optimization problems are often subject to uncertainties, which can arise regarding stochastic model parameters, objective functions and decision variables. Th...
