Abstract. Just as cooperation in multi-agent systems is a central issue for solving complex tasks, so too is the ability for an intelligent agent to reason about combined knowledge...
Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...
Many learning algorithms rely on the curvature (in particular, strong convexity) of regularized objective functions to provide good theoretical performance guarantees. In practice...
