Recently, evolutionary computation has been successfully integrated into statistical learning methods. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) using evolution strategies for its optimizati...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

We present a class of web queries whose result is a multi-column relation instead of a collection of unstructured documents as in standard web search. The user specifies the query...
We introduce the novel problem of inter-robot transfer learning for perceptual classification of objects, where multiple heterogeneous robots communicate and transfer learned obje...
Quality control and resource optimization are challenging problems in peer-assisted video streaming systems, due to their large scales and unreliable peer behavior. Such systems a...
