: Recently, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has exhibited good performance across a wide range of application problems. A quick review of the literature reveals that re...
We present a novel linear clustering framework (DIFFRAC) which relies on a linear discriminative cost function and a convex relaxation of a combinatorial optimization problem. The...
Spatial databases support a variety of geometric queries on point data such as range searches, nearest neighbor searches, etc. Balanced Aspect Ratio (BAR) trees are hierarchical sp...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are multi-dimensional and stochastic search methods, involving complex interactions among their parameters. For last two decades, researchers have been tr...
In this paper we investigate an approach to provide approximate, anytime algorithms for DCOPs that can provide quality guarantees. At this aim, we propose the divide-and-coordinat...
