The prediction of collisions amongst N rigid objects may be reduced to a series of computations of the time to first contact for all pairs of objects. Simple enclosing bounds and...
In the minimum path coloring problem, we are given a graph and a set of pairs of vertices of the graph and we are asked to connect the pairs by colored paths in such a way that pa...
We provide an overview of spline and wavelet techniques with an emphasis on applications in pattern recognition. The presentation is divided in three parts. In the first one, we ar...
The performance of genetic programming relies mostly on population-contained variation. If the population diversity is low then there will be a greater chance of the algorithm bein...
While recent research has advanced our understanding about the structure and dynamics of social tagging systems, we know little about (i) the underlying motivations for tagging (w...
