Abstract. This work compares different metaheuristics techniques applied to an important problem in natural language: tagging. Tagging amounts to assigning to each word in a text ...
Image segmentation is an important process of image analysis. Most of the published approaches for image segmentation need to set appropriate parameter values to cope with the unc...
In genetic programming, the reproductive operators of crossover and mutation both require the selection of nodes from the reproducing individuals. Both unbiased random selection a...
Group elevator scheduling has received considerable attention due to its importance to transportation efficiency for mid-rise and high-rise buildings. One important trend to improv...
This paper presents an approach to combine competent crossover and mutation operators via probabilistic model building. Both operators are based on the probabilistic model buildin...
