A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides private network connections over a publicly accessible shared network. The effective allocation of bandwidth for VPNs assumes significance...
We motivate and analyse a new Tree Search algorithm, based on recent advances in the use of Gaussian Processes for bandit problems. We assume that the function to maximise on the ...
This paper introduces a strategy for training ensemble classifiers by analysing boosting within margin theory. We present a bound on the generalisation error of ensembled classifi...

We investigate the runtime of a Binary Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) for optimizing pseudo-Boolean functions f : {0, 1}n → R. The Binary PSO maintains a swarm of particles sear...
We describe online algorithms for learning a rotation from pairs of unit vectors in Rn . We show that the expected regret of our online algorithm compared to the best fixed rotati...
