Automatic handwritten character recognition is one of the most critical and interesting research areas in domain of pattern recognition. The problem becomes more challenging if domain is handwritten Hindi character as Hindi characters are cursive in nature and demonstrate a lot of similar...

In this article, we investigate the relative performance of artificial neural networks and structural models of decision theory by training 69 artificial intelligence models on a dataset of 7080 human decisions in extensive form games. The objective is to compare the predictive power of AIs that...

The parameter identification using artificial neural networks is becoming very popular. In this chapter, the parameters of dynamical system are identified using artificial neural networks. A fast gradient decent technique for the parameter identification of a linear dynamical system has been...

In this paper we apply the generalized simulated annealing (GSA) approach to the inversion of gravity data for 2-D and 3-D density distributions. We consider a modeling process where the input is the vector of model parameters m (that can be density contrast, mass or some coordinates) and the...

We address the two-dimensional satellite irregular polygons layout problem (TDSIPLP). By mapping the layout problem to a physical system, we present a self-organization emergence algorithm (SEA) based on a multi-agent system (MAS). SEA uses information on the local energy of agents and...

We propose a stochastic approach to combine methods from computational physics and Tsallis statistics in order to analyze the potential energy hypersurface of the proteins. This approach enables us to study protein folding by the topology of the energy hypersurface close to the native...

Microarray studies and gene expression analysis have received significant attention over the last few years and provide many promising avenues towards the understanding of fundamental questions in biology and medicine. In this paper, the authors investigate the application of ant colony...
