Affinity functions are the core components in negative selection to discriminate self from non-self. It has been shown that affinity functions such as the r-contiguous distance an...
In this paper, we propose two new support vector approaches for ordinal regression, which optimize multiple thresholds to define parallel discriminant hyperplanes for the ordinal...
Test case prioritization for regression testing can be performed using different metrics (e.g., statement coverage, path coverage) depending on the application context. Employing ...
Abstract. We propose a novel restoration method for defects and missing regions in video sequences, particularly in application to archive film restoration. Our statistical framew...
Current mainstream Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are based on the concept of selection, encapsulated in the definition of a fitness function. Besides selection, however, the natur...
