A genetic algorithm for the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with setups (2014)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the one-dimensional cutting stock problem considering two conflicting objective functions: minimization of both the number of objects and the number of different cutting patterns used. A new heuristic method based on the conce... Read More about A genetic algorithm for the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with setups.

A comparison of meta-heuristic search for interactive software design (2013)
Journal Article

Advances in processing capacity, coupled with the desire to tackle problems where a human subjective judgment plays an important role in determining the value of a proposed solution, has led to a dramatic rise in the number of applications of Interac...

A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control (2013)
Journal Article

As organizations start to publish the data that they collect, either internally or externally, in the form of statistical tables they need to consider the protection of the confidential information held in those tables. The algorithms used to protect... Read More about A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control.

Self-adaptation of mutation operator and probability for permutation representations in genetic algorithms (2010)
Journal Article

The choice of mutation rate is a vital factor in the success of any genetic algorithm (GA), and for permutation representations this is compounded by the availability of several alternative mutation operators. It is now well understood that there is... Read More about Self-adaptation of mutation operator and probability for permutation representations in genetic algorithms.

Impact of object extraction methods on classification performance in surface inspection systems (2010)
Journal Article

In surface inspection applications, the main goal is to detect all areas which might contain defects or unacceptable imperfections, and to classify either every single 'suspicious' region or the investigated part as a whole. After an image is acquire... Read More about Impact of object extraction methods on classification performance in surface inspection systems.

Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems (2010)
Journal Article

In this paper, we present a framework for the classification of images in surface inspection tasks and address several key aspects of the processing chain from the original image to the final classification result. A major contribution of this paper... Read More about Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems.

Creating diverse nearest-neighbour ensembles using simultaneous metaheuristic feature selection (2010)
Journal Article

The nearest-neighbour (1NN) classifier has long been used in pattern recognition, exploratory data analysis, and data mining problems. A vital consideration in obtaining good results with this technique is the choice of distance function, and corresp...

User-centric image segmentation using an interactive parameter adaptation tool (2010)
Journal Article

Creating successful machine vision systems often begins a process of developing customised reliable image segmentation algorithms for the detection, and possibly categorisation of regions of interest within images. This can require significant invest... Read More about User-centric image segmentation using an interactive parameter adaptation tool.

Human-machine interaction issues in quality control based on online image classification (2009)
Journal Article

This paper considers on a number of issues that arise when a trainable machine vision system learns directly from humans. We contrast this to the "normal" situation where machine learning (ML) techniques are applied to a "cleaned" data set which is c...
