The presence of speckle in ultrasound images makes it hard to segment them using active contours. Speckle causes the energy function of the active contours to have many local minim...
— This paper presents an algorithm which combines Estimation Distribution Algorithm with a chromosome compression scheme to solve large scale Noisy OneMax problem. The search spa...
We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic approach (HMA) for solving the Unconstrained Binary Quadratic Programming (UBQP) problem. By incorporating a tabu search procedure into ...
In this paper we apply a heuristic method based on artificial neural networks (NN) in order to trace out the efficient frontier associated to the portfolio selection problem. We...
