Leakage Localization with Differential Evolution: A Closer Look on Distance Metrics

A closer look at texture metrics for visualization

This paper presents some insights into perceptual metrics for texture pattern categorization. An increasing number of researchers in the field of visualization are trying to exploit texture patterns to overcome the innate limitations of three dimensional color spaces. However, a comprehensive understanding of the most important features by which people group textures is essential for effective ...

Optimized distance metrics for differential evolution based nearest prototype classifier

In this article, we introduce a differential evolution based classifier with extension for selecting automatically the applied distance measure from a predefined pool of alternative distances measures to suit optimally for classifying the particular data set at hand. The proposed method extends the earlier differential evolution based nearest prototype classifier by extending the optimization p...

A ClOser lOOk

In recent years, systems of care principles have been increasingly adopted because of their potential to support efforts to improve child welfare and other human service systems in ways that lead to increased safety, permanency, and well-being for children, adolescents, and their families. However, while the systems of care approach has become more widespread, a clear understanding of what defi...
