Multilevel thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique. However, computational complexity of multilevel thresholding increases very rapidly with increasing number of thresholds. Metaheuristic algorithms are applied to reduce computational complexity of multilevel thresholding. A new...

In this paper, an oppositional backtracking search algorithm (OBSA) is proposed to solve the large scale economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The main drawback of the conventional backtracking search algorithm (BSA) is that it produces a local optimal solution rather than the global optimal...

Disease forecasting using soft computing techniques is major area of research in data mining in recent years. To classify heart and diabetes diseases, this paper proposes a diagnosis system using cuckoo search optimized rough sets based attribute reduction and fuzzy logic system. The disease...
