Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithms for Large-Scale Real-Valued Optimization: Including Real-World Medical Applications

In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in a large number of societally relevant, real-world problems, e.g., in the domains of engineering and health care. The field of Evolutionary Computation (EC) can be considered to be a sub-field of AI, concerning optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), which...

OpenACC GPU implementation of double-stage delay-multiply-and-sum algorithm: Toward enhanced real-time linear-array photoacoustic tomography

Double-stage delay-multiply-and-sum (DS-DMAS) is one of the algorithms proposed for photoacoustic image reconstruction where a linear-array transducer is used to detect signals. This algorithm provides a higher contrast image in comparison with the conventional delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) and delay-and-sum (DAS), but it imposes a high...
