To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...
Abstract. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect smallsize (from 2 mm to around 10 mm) pulmonary nodules in helical CT scans is developed. This system uses different sc...

Abstract. An artificial neural network with all its elements is a rather complex structure, not easily constructed and/or trained to perform a particular task. Consequently, severa...
Intermediate measurements in quantum circuits compare to conditional branchings in programming languages. Due to this, quantum circuits have a natural linear-tree structure. In thi...
Tradeoffs are an important part of engineering security. Protocol security is important. So are efficiency and cost. This paper provides an early framework for handling such aspec...
