—This paper describes an evolutionary music composition system that combines trainable music critics with a bag of notes constraint. Unlike many evolutionary composition systems,...
We propose a method of image segmentation by integrating pairwise attraction and directional repulsion derived from local grouping and figure-ground cues. These two kinds of pairw...
