Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are effective and robust methods for solving many practical problems such as feature selection, electrical circuits synthesis, and data mining. Howeve...
This paper presents the result of an adaptive region growing segmentation technique for color document images using an irregular pyramid structure. The emphasis is in the segmentat...
RankBoost is a recently proposed algorithm for learning ranking functions. It is simple to implement and has strong justifications from computational learning theory. We describe...

A variety of hybrid genetic algorithms has been recently proposed to address the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), a problem known to be NP-hard. However, very few...
We investigate an inherent limitation of top-down decision tree induction in which the continuous partitioning of the instance space progressively lessens the statistical support o...
