A major problem challenging opera designers is the inability to coordinate lighting, projection systems, and set designs in the preliminary planning phase. New computer graphics t...
Knowledge compilation [6, 5, 14, 8] consists in transforming a problem offline into a form which is tractable online. In this paper, we introduce new structures, based on the notio...
Algebraic Point Set Surfaces (APSS) define a smooth surface from a set of points using local moving least-squares (MLS) fitting of algebraic spheres. In this paper we first revisi...
In genetic programming, the reproductive operators of crossover and mutation both require the selection of nodes from the reproducing individuals. Both unbiased random selection a...
