-- The problem of estimating the Vocal Tract Area Functions (VTAF) from speech signals arise in many applications. However, the existing methods for solving this problem were desig...
The phenomenon of particle bursts, a well-known feature of PSO is investigated. Their origin is concluded to lie in multiplicative stochasticity, previously encountered in the stu...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel hybrid (GA/PSO) algorithm, Breeding Swarm, combining the strengths of particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithms. The hybrid alg...
