The building blocks are common structures of high-quality solutions. Genetic algorithms often assume the building-block hypothesis. It is hypothesized that the high-quality solutio...
Many edge detection schemes suffer from the lack of image quality at the global level. Global properties are more vital in grayscale images due to loss of hue and texture. This pa...
Utility programs, which perform similar and largely independent operations on a sequence of inputs, include such common applications as compilers, interpreters, and document parse...

This paper presents a novel prototype hierarchy based clustering (PHC) framework for the organization of web collections. It solves simultaneously the problem of categorizing web ...
We address the problem of computing an optimal value function for Markov decision processes. Since finding this function quickly and accurately requires substantial computation ef...
