Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

Abstract. Methods for the recognition of multiple objects in images using local representations are introduced. Starting from a straight forward approach, we combine the use of loc...

This paper presents an improvement of the classical Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) approach, for dealing with local representations of image objects. NMF, when applied to...
Abstract. Choosing representations and operators that preserve locality between genotype and phenotype space is an important goal in EA design. In the GA literature there has been ...
