Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
One challenge faced by many Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) systems is poor scalability to problems with large search spaces and many examples. Randomized search methods such as ...
A Random test generator generates executable tests together with their expected results. In the form of a noise-maker, it seeds the program with conditional scheduling primitives ...
We develop an improved cost function to be used in simulated annealing followed by hill-climbing to find Boolean functions satisfying multiple desirable criteria such as high nonli...
To automatically register foreground target in cluttered images, we present a novel hierarchical graph representation and a stochastic computing strategy in Bayesian framework. Th...
