Our goal is to optimize regularized image reconstruction methods for emission tomography with respect to the task of detecting small lesions of unknown location in the reconstruct...
The extraction of contours using deformable models, such as snakes, is a problem of great interest in computer vision, particular in areas of medical imaging and tracking. Snakes ...

Policy search is a method for approximately solving an optimal control problem by performing a parametric optimization search in a given class of parameterized policies. In order ...
— A learning machine is called singular if its Fisher information matrix is singular. Almost all learning machines used in information processing are singular, for example, layer...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
