Niching is an important technique for multimodal optimization. Most existing niching methods require specification of certain niching parameters in order to perform well. These nic...
Image transmission over low-bandwidth channels can be speeded up if the image coding mechanism supports regions of interest (RoIs). By such a scheme, image parts not belonging to ...
Nearest neighbor queries are important in many settings, including spatial databases (Find the k closest cities) and multimedia databases (Find the k most similar images). Previou...
The use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) to represent the performance space of analog circuits is explored. In abstract terms, an analog circuit maps a set of input design parame...

In this paper we address two aspects related to the exploitation of Support Vector Machines (SVM) for classification in real application domains, such as the detection of objects ...
