Metaheuristic algorithms have been investigated intensively to address highly complex combinatorial optimization problems. However, most metaheuristic algorithms have been designed manually by rese…
Photorealistic stylization aims to transfer the style of a reference photo onto a content photo in a natural fashion, such that the stylized image looks like a real photo taken by a camera. State-o…
In recent research, hyper-heuristics have attracted increasing attention in various fields. The most appealing feature of hyper-heuristics is that they aim to provide more generalized solutions to …
Distributed optical fiber acoustic sensing technology (DAS) based on Rayleigh backscattering (RBS) is experiencing a rapid development because of the unique capability of measuring acoustic waves a…
Distributed fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) technology can measure acoustic waves along long-distance optical fiber with high spatial resolution. Due to its unique advantages, DAS has been applied in …
Long range phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (φ-OTDR) sensing mainly employs distributed amplification in the sensing fiber. It requires the light to be injected into both ends of …
This paper defines a new combinatorial optimization problem, namely General Combinatorial Optimization Problem (GCOP), whose decision variables are a set of parametric algorithmic components, i.e. …
