Control Flow Driven Splitting of Loop Nests at the Source Code Level

TL;DR: A novel source code transformation for control flow optimization called loop nest splitting which minimizes the number of executed if-statements in loop nests of embedded multimedia applications to reduce runtimes and energy consumption is presented.

Differential evolution with competitive setting of control parameters

TL;DR: The competitive variants of differential evolution have proved to be more reliable and less time-consuming than the standard differential evolution and have also outperformed other tested algorithms in their reliability and convergence rate.

Automatic construction of feedforward/recurrent fuzzy systems by clustering-aided simplex particle swarm optimization

TL;DR: A new approach for automating the structure and parameter learning of fuzzy systems by clustering-aided simplex particle swarm optimization, called CSPSO, which helps determine the number of rules automatically, but also avoids the generation of highly similar fuzzy sets on each input variable.

Induction machine bearing faults detection based on a multi-dimensional MUSIC algorithm and maximum likelihood estimation.

TL;DR: A multi-dimensional MUSIC (MD MUSIC) algorithm has been developed for bearing faults detection based on bearing faults characteristic frequencies and an amplitude estimator of the fault characteristic frequencies has been proposed and fault indicator has been derived for fault severity measurement.
