For many large-scale combinatorial search/optimization problems, meta-heuristic algorithms face noisy objective functions, coupled with computationally expensive evaluation times....
Ray-tracing is a well-known method for producing realistic images. If we wish to view a ray-traced image stereoscopically, we must create two distinct views of the image: a left-e...
The pharmaceutical industry is facing an ever-increasing demand to discover novel drugs that are more effective and safer than existing ones. The industry faces huge problem in im...
Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...
