Permutation entropy (PE) has been recently suggested as a novel measure to characterize the complexity of nonlinear time series. In this paper, we propose a simple method to address some of PE's limitations, mainly its inability to differentiate between distinct patterns of a certain motif and the sensitivity of patterns close to the noise floor. The method relies on the fact that patterns may be too disparate in amplitudes and variances and proceeds by assigning weights for each extracted vector when computing the relative frequencies associated with every motif. Simulations were conducted over synthetic and real data for a weighting scheme inspired by the variance of each pattern. Results show better robustness and stability in the presence of higher levels of noise, in addition to a distinctive ability to extract complexity information from data with spiky features or having abrupt changes in magnitude.
This paper introduces associated near sets of distance functions called merotopies. An associated set of a function is a collection containing members with one or more common properties. This study has important impli...

H-DIBCO 2012 is the International Document Image Binarization Competition which is dedicated to handwritten document images organized in conjunction with ICFHR 2012 conference. The objective of the contest is to identify current advances in handwritten document image binarization using meaningful evaluation performance measures. This paper reports on the contest details including the evaluation measures used as well as the performance of the 24 submitted methods along with a short description of each method.

This paper presents the OptBees, an optimization algo-rithm inspired by the processes of collective decision-making by bee colonies. The algorithm was designed with the objective of generat-ing and maintaining diversity, promoting a multimodal search and obtaining multiple local optima without losing the ability of global optimization, thus representing an innovation compared with exis-tent bee-inspired algorithms. It has been tested in five of the twen-ty-five minimization problems proposed for the Optimization Competition of Real Parameters of the CEC 2005 Special Session on Real-Parameter Optimization, held in the 2005 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC). The results obtained suggest the suitability of the algorithm to exploit multimodality of prob-lems, being successful in the generation and maintenance of diversi-ty and achieving good quality results in global optimization.

Hierarchical clustering is an important and powerful but computationally extensive operation. Its complexity motivates the exploration of highly parallel approaches such as Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART). Although ART has been implemented on GPU processors, this paper presents the first hierarchical ART GPU implementation we are aware of. Each ART layer is distributed in the GPU's multiprocessors and is trained simultaneously. The experimental results show that for deep trees, the GPU's performance advantage is significant.
The focus of this paper is on sets of neighbourhoods that are sufficiently near each other as yet another way to consider near sets. This study has important implications in M. Katětov's approach to topologising ...
