— The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a kind of reliability optimization problems. It involves the selection of components with appropriate levels of redundancy or reliabi...
An ensemble is a group of learning models that jointly solve a problem. However, the ensembles generated by existing techniques are sometimes unnecessarily large, which can lead t...
In this paper we propose a meta-evolutionary approach to improve on the performance of individual classifiers. In the proposed system, individual classifiers evolve, competing to ...
System combination has emerged as a powerful method for machine translation (MT). This paper pursues a joint optimization strategy for combining outputs from multiple MT systems, ...
Many modern visual recognition algorithms incorporate a step of spatial `pooling', where the outputs of several nearby feature detectors are combined into a local or global `...
