— An evolutionary algorithm automatically discovers suitable solutions to a problem, which may lie anywhere in a large search space of candidate solutions. In the case of Genetic...
The transition to renewables requires storage to help smooth short-term variations in energy from wind and solar sources, as well as to respond to spikes in electricity spot price...
How much can an imperfect source of randomness affect an algorithm? We examine several simple questions of this type concerning the long-term behavior of a random walk on a finite...

Density biased sampling (DBS) has been proposed to address the limitations of Uniform sampling, by producing the desired probability distribution in the sample. The ease of produc...
We consider the problem of evaluating retrieval systems using a limited number of relevance judgments. Recent work has demonstrated that one can accurately estimate average precis...
