Abstract. In our previous work we have shown that Mahalanobis kernels are useful for support vector classifiers both from generalization ability and model selection speed. In this ...
We benchmark the Covariance Matrix Adaptation-Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) algorithm with an Increasing POPulation size (IPOP) restart policy on the BBOB noiseless testbed. The IPO...
An efficient policy search algorithm should estimate the local gradient of the objective function, with respect to the policy parameters, from as few trials as possible. Whereas m...
A novel state-space model of a multi-node supply chain is presented, controlled via local proportional inventory-replenishment policies. The model is driven by a stochastic sequen...
Abstract. Although the number of online privacy policies is increasing, it remains difficult for Internet users to understand them, let alone to compare policies across sites or i...
