Topology Selection in Graphical Models of Autoregressive Processes
An algorithm is presented for topology selection in graphical models of autoregressive Gaussian time series. The graph topology of the model represents the sparsity pattern of the...

The differential ant-stigmergy algorithm: an experimental evaluation and a real-world application
— This paper describes the so-called Differential Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA), which is an extension of the Ant-Colony Optimization for a continuous domain. An experimental ev...
