An Improved Ant Colony Optimisation Algorithm for the 2D HP Protein Folding Problem
The prediction of a protein’s structure from its amino-acid sequence is one of the most important problems in computational biology. In the current focus on a widely studied abst...

Enforcing convexity for improved alignment with constrained local models
Constrained local models (CLMs) have recently demonstrated good performance in non-rigid object alignment/tracking in comparison to leading holistic approaches (e.g., AAMs). A maj...

Subthreshold-Seeking Behavior and Robust Local Search
Subthreshold-seeking behavior occurs when the majority of the points that an algorithm samples have an evaluation less than some target threshold. We characterize sets of functions...

Clock skew scheduling for improved reliability via quadratic programming
This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal clock skew schedule for a synchronous VLSI circuit. A novel formulation of clock skew scheduling as a constrained quadrat...
