We discuss the representation of knowledge and of belief from the viewpoint of decision theory. While the Bayesian approach enjoys general-purpose applicability and axiomatic foun...
This paper presents a line of research in genetic algorithms (GAs), called building-block identification. The building blocks (BBs) are common structures inferred from a set of sol...
The way a rational agent changes her belief in certain proposition/hypotheses in the light of new evidence lies in the heart of Bayesian inference. The basic natural assumption, a...
Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...
A successful class of image denoising methods is based on Bayesian approaches working in wavelet representations. The performance of these methods improves when relations among th...
