Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDocument Clustering Based on Firefly AlgorithmAthraa Jasim Mohammed, Yuhanis Yusof, Husniza HusniDocument clustering is widely used in Information Retrieval however, existing clustering techniques suffer from local optima problem in determining the k number of clusters. Various efforts have been put to address such drawback and this includes the utilization of swarm-based algorithms such as particle swarm optimization and Ant Colony Optimization. This study explores the adaptation of another swarm algorithm which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2015 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Gaussian Process Regression Model for the Traveling Salesman ProblemWanatchapong Kongkaew, Juta PichitlamkenProblem statement: Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a famous NP hard problem. Many approaches have been proposed up to date for solving TSP. We consider a TSP tour as a dependent variable and its corresponding distance as an independent variable. If a predictive function can be formulated from arbitrary sample tours, the optimal tour may be predicted from this function. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Graph Cut Algorithm for Morphological Edge DetectionP. RadhakrishnanProblem statement: Image analysis has some basic importance of edge detection. Characterize the object boundaries are helpful for object segmentation, registration and identification in a scene. There are many methods for edge detection, but it can be identified by two major methods, search-based and zero-crossing based. Approach: Proposed method tries to follow searching the edge points by applying graph cuts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 29 May 2012 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
