Conventional similarity metrics used to sustain diversity in evolving populations are not well suited to sequential decision tasks. Genotypes and phenotypic structure are poor pre...
Similarity queries in traditional databases work directly on attribute values. But, often similar attribute values do not indicate similar meanings. Semantic background information...
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a vital problem in biology. Optimal alignment of multiple sequences becomes impractical even for a modest number of sequences [1] since the gen...
Consider a dark polygonal region in which intruders move freely, trying to avoid detection. A robot, which is equipped with a flashlight, moves along the polygon boundary to illum...
Many classification algorithms are designed to work with datasets that contain only discrete attributes. Discretization is the process of converting the continuous attributes of ...
