— We extend the Evolution Strategy with Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA-ES) by collaborative concepts from Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The proposed Particle Swarm CMA-ES...
Many classification algorithms use the concept of distance or similarity between patterns. Previous work has shown that it is advantageous to optimize general Euclidean distances (...
Geometrical symmetries are commonly exploited to improve the efficiency of search algorithms. We introduce a new logical symmetry in permutation state spaces which we call duality...

Most existing Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems support only title-based searches, which can not satisfy the content searches. In this paper, we proposed a semantic correlativity model wh...
We introduce an exploration scheme aimed at learning advertiser click-through rates in sponsored search auctions with minimal effect on advertiser incentives. The scheme preserves...
