In this paper, we present a normal form for concept expressions in the description logic ALC which is based on a recently introduced notion of prime implicate for the modal logic ...
Abstract. In this paper we conduct a comparative study between hybrid methods to optimize multilayer perceptrons: a model that optimizes the architecture and initial weights of mul...
View materialization is known to be a valuable technique for performance optimization in relational databases, and much work has been done addressing the problem of consistently m...
Neural networks and the Kriging method are compared for constructing £tness approximation models in evolutionary optimization algorithms. The two models are applied in an identica...
