It decides, by voting, the class of the tested samples on the border of the coverage area, based on the probability of training samples. When using the original covering algorithm(CA), many tested samples that are located on the border of the coverage cannot be classified by the spherical neighborhood gained. The network structure of PBCA is a mixed structure composed of both a feed-forward network and a feedback network. By using this method of adding some heterogeneous samples and enlarging the coverage radius,it is possible to decrease the number of rejected samples and improve the rate of recognition accuracy. Relevant computer experiments indicate that the algorithm improves the study precision and achieves reasonably good results in text classification.展开更多

It is aimed to obtain the worst case ratio of the objective value of the optimal schedule with unlimited preemptions and that of the schedule allowed to be preempted at most i times. For the m identical machines case, we show the worst case ratio is 2m-i-1/m and we present a polynomial time algorithm which can guarantee the ratio for any 0 〈 i 〈2 m - 1. For the /-preemptive scheduling on two uniform machines case, we only need to consider the cases of i = 0 and i = 1. For both cases, we present two linear time algorithms and obtain the worst case ratios with respect to s, i.e., the ratio of the speeds of two machines.展开更多

Often the available CA have redundant combinatorial interaction that could be removed to reduce the number of rows. This paper addresses the problem of removing redundancy of CA using a metaheuristic post- optimization (MPO) approach. Our approach consists of three main components: a redundancy detector (RD); a row reducer (RR); and a missing-combinations reducer (MCR). The MCR is a metaheuristic component implemented using a simulated annealing algorithm. MPO was instantiated with 21,964 CA taken from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) repository. It is a remarkable result that this instantiation of MPO has delivered 349 new upper bounds for these CA.展开更多

The pure genetic algorithms are outperformed by the neighborhood search heuristics procedures combined with genetic algorithms.展开更多

NOVCA is based on the idea of(l) including the vertex having maximum degree in the vertex cover and (2) rendering the degree of a vertex to zero by including all its adjacent vertices. The three versions of algorithm, NOVCA-I, NOVCA-II, and NOVCA-random, have been developed. The results identifying bounds on the size of the minimum vertex cover as well as polynomial complexity of algorithm are given with experimental verification. Future research efforts will be directed at tuning the algorithm and providing proof for better approximation ratio with NOVCA compared to any available vertex cover algorithms.展开更多

Effects of climate change on forests depend on ecosystem-specific factors including dimensions of climate (temperature, precipitation, drought, wind etc.). Available infor- mation is not sufficient to support a quantitative assessment of the eco- logical, social and economic consequences. The present study assessed shifts in forest cover types of Western Himalayan Eco-region (700-4 500 m). 100 randomly selected samples (75 for training and 25 for testing the model), genetic algorithm of rule set parameters and climatic envelopes were used to assess the distribution of five prominent forest cover types (Temperate evergreen, Tropical semi-evergreen, Temperate conifer, Sub- tropical conifer, and Tropical moist deciduous forests). Modelling was conducted for four different scenarios, current scenario, changed precipi- tation (8% increase), changed temperature (1.07℃ increase), and both changed temperature and precipitation. On increasing precipitation a downward shift in the temperate evergreen and tropical semi-evergreen was observed, while sub-tropical conifer and tropical moist-deciduous forests showed a slight upward shift and temperate conifer showed 'no shift. On increasing temperatm'e, an upward shift in all forest types was observed except sub-tropical conifer forests without significant changes. When both temperature and precipitation were changed, the actual dis- tribution was maintained and slight upward shift was observed in all the forest types except sub-tropical conifer. It is important to understand the likely impacts of the projected climate change on the forest ecosystems, so that better management and conservation strategies can be adopted for the biodiversity and forest dependent community. Knowledge of impact mechanisms also enables identification and mitigation of some of the conditions that increase vulnerability to climate change in the forest sector.展开更多
