Visual Search with selective tuning

Tuning Tabu Search Strategies via Visual Diagnosis

Visual search and selective attention

Visual search is a key paradigm in attention research that has proved to be a test bed for competing theories of selective attention. The starting point for most current theories of visual search has been Treisman’s ‘‘feature integration theory’’ of visual attention (e.g., Treisman & Gelade, 1980). A number of key issues that have been raised in attempts to test this theory are still pertinent ...

Editorial: Visual Search and Selective Attention

Visual search is one of the most successful paradigms employed in research on selective attention. In the prototypical search task, observers are presented with displays containing variable numbers of items one of which, the target, may differ from the other items, the distractors. Observers indicate, as rapidly and as accurately as possible, whether or not a target objects is present in the di...

Chapter X TUNING TABU SEARCH STRATEGIES VIA VISUAL DIAGNOSIS

While designing working metaheuristics can be straightforward, tuning them to solve the underlying combinatorial optimization problem well can be tricky. Several tuning methods have been proposed but they do not address the new aspect of our proposed classification of the metaheuristic tuning problem: tuning search strategies. We propose a tuning methodology based on Visual Diagnosis and a gene...

Search Engine Tuning with Genetic Algorithms

This project has been read by each member of the project committee and has been found to be satisfactory regarding content, English usage, format, citation, bibliographic style, and consistency and is ready for submission to The Graduate School. In presenting this project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master's degree at Montana State University, I agree that the Library shall...
