— A heuristic is proposed to address free parameter selection for Support Vector Machines, with the goals of improving generalization performance and providing greater insensitiv...
The paper considers an interactive search paradigm in which at each round a user is presented with a set of k images and is required to select one that is closest to her target. P...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
Abstract- Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have the tendency to converge quickly into a single solution in the search space. However, many complex search problems require the identiï¬...
In this paper we present and evaluate uncoordinated on-line algorithms for simultaneous storage and replication load-balancing in DHT-based peer-to-peer systems. We compare our ap...
