Distributed Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimizer in Dynamic Environment
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic optimization technique, which can be used to find an optimal, or near optimal, solution to a numerical and quali...

Bounding Recursive Procedural Models Using Convex Optimization
We present an algorithm to construct a tight bounding polyhedron for a recursive procedural model. We first use an iterated function system (IFS) to represent the extent of the p...

A Deterministic Metaheuristic Approach Using "Logistic Ants" for Combinatorial Optimization
Abstract. Ant algorithms are usually derived from a stochastic modeling based on some specific probability laws. We consider in this paper a full deterministic model of "logis...

Globally-Optimal Greedy Algorithms for Tracking a Variable Number of Objects
We analyze the computational problem of multi-object tracking in video sequences. We formulate the problem using a cost function that requires estimating the number of tracks, as ...

Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...
