— We extend the Evolution Strategy with Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA-ES) by collaborative concepts from Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The proposed Particle Swarm CMA-ES...
Active Shape Model (ASM) is a powerful statistical tool for face alignment by shape. However, it can suffer from changes in illumination and facial expression changes, and local m...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
Abstract. We consider the two-echelon location-routing problem (2ELRP), a well-known problem in freight distribution arising when establishing a two-level transport system with lim...
This paper presents an applicable model for complex multiattribute negotiations between autonomous agents. The model adopts a novel protocol which decomposes the original n-dimens...
