— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
The digital divide is a complex and dynamic phenomenon. Despite extensive studies on the digital divide and its impact, developing countries, in particular, are still searching fo...
In this paper we will briefly describe the approaches taken by Berkeley for the main GeoCLEF 2007 tasks (Mono and Bilingual retrieval). This year we used only a single system in ...
In previous work [7] a computational framework was demonstrated that employs evolutionary algorithms to automatically model a given system. This is accomplished by alternating the...
The choice of a bidding language is crucial in auction design in order to correctly capture bidder utilities. We propose a new bidding model for the Adwords auctions of search eng...
