A novel search operator, BlockCopy, is proposed for efficiently solving the wind farm layout optimisation problem. BlockCopy, which can be used either as mutation or a crossover operator, copies patterns of turbines from part of a layout to another part. The target layout may be the same as the source, or a different layout altogether. The rationale behind this is that it is the relative configurations...
A novel mutation operator for the wind farm layout optimisation problem is proposed and tested. When a wind farm layout is simulated, statistics such as an individual turbine's wake free ratio can be computed. These statistics are in addition to the global measure being optimised, for example the overall cost of energy extraction of the farm. We present algorithms that first of all build a predictive...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) form a critical component in modern computing applications; given their size, ability to process and communicate information, and to sense stimuli, they are a promising part of The Internet of Things. However, they are also plagued by reliability and node failure problems. Here we address these problems by using E. coli Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) — believed to...
Bag-of-Words (BOW) models have recently become popular for the task of object recognition, owing to their good performance and simplicity. Much work has been proposed over the years to improve the BOW model, where the Spatial Pyramid Matching technique is the most notable. In this work, we propose three novel techniques to capture more refined spatial information between image features than that provided...
