Recent statistical performance surveys of search algorithms in difficult combinatorial problems have demonstrated the benefits of randomising and restarting the search procedure. ...
To navigate effectively, an autonomous agent must be able to quickly and accurately determine its current location. Given an initial estimate of its position (perhaps based on dea...
In this paper we present TDLEAF( ), a variation on the TD( ) algorithm that enables it to be used in conjunction with game-tree search. We present some experiments in which our che...
In this paper we report the experiments for the CLEF 2009 Robust-WSD task, both for the monolingual (English) and the bilingual (Spanish to English) subtasks. Our main experimenta...
In this paper, we proposed Fittest Individual Refinement (FIR), a crossover based local search method for Differential Evolution (DE). The FIR scheme accelerates DE by enhancing...
