: In this paper, a novel approach to the problem of estimating the heavy–tail exponent α > 0 of a distribution is proposed. It is based on the fact that block–maxima of siz...
In this paper an evolutionary algorithm is used for evolving gaits in a walking biped robot controller. The focus is fast learning in a real-time environment. An incremental appro...
The calculation of slope (downhill gradient) for a point in a digital elevation model (DEM) is a common procedure in the hydrological, environmental and remote sensing sciences. T...
— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
This paper presents an optimized Hill Climbing algorithm to select a subset of features for handwritten character recognition. The search is conducted taking into account a random ...
