Data synopsis is a lossy compressed representation of data stored into databases that helps the query optimizer to speed up the query process, e.g. time to retrieve the data from ...
We study the dynamic membership problem, one of the most fundamental data structure problems, in the cell probe model with an arbitrary cell size. We consider a cell probe model e...
— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
Estimation of distribution algorithms replace the typical crossover and mutation operators by constructing a probabilistic model and generating offspring according to this model....
Abstract: The problem of modeling and assessing an individual’s ability level is central to learning environments. Numerous approaches exists to this end. Computer Adaptive Testi...
