Simulations using a computer model the Evolution Of Culture (EVOC) indicate that the clustering of creative agents decreases the mean fitness of ideas in the short term (when imit...
In this paper, we apply AntClust, an ant based clustering algorithm, to the Web usage-mining problem. We define a Web session as a weighted multi-modal vector and we propose an ad...

This paper presents a character segmentation algorithm for unconstrained cursive handwritten text. The transformation-based learning method and a simplified variation of it are us...
We present algorithms for constructing a hierarchy of increasingly coarse Morse complexes that decompose a piecewise linear 2-manifold. While Morse complexes are defined only in t...
We prove that the sum of d small-bias generators L : Fs Fn fools degree-d polynomials in n variables over a field F, for any fixed degree d and field F, including F = F2 = {0, 1}...
