We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
A Robot Scientist is a physically implemented system that applies artificial intelligence to autonomously discover new knowledge through cycles of scientific experimentation. Ad...
Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
This paper introduces the Objective Fitness Correlation, a new tool to analyze the evaluation accuracy of coevolutionary algorithms. Accurate evaluation is an essential ingredient...
Coevolution has often been based on averaged outcomes, resulting in unstable evaluation. Several theoretical approaches have used archives to provide stable evaluation. However, t...
