Reinforcement learning for DEC-MDPs with changing action sets and partially ordered dependencies
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...

A summarization approach for Affymetrix GeneChip data using a reference training set from a large, biologically diverse database
Background: Many of the most popular pre-processing methods for Affymetrix expression arrays, such as RMA, gcRMA, and PLIER, simultaneously analyze data across a set of predetermi...

Ant colony optimization techniques for the vehicle routing problem
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...
