: In a canonical genetic algorithm, the reproduction operators (crossover and mutation) are random in nature. The direction of the search carried out by the GA system is driven pur...
Searching in decentralized peer-to-peer networks is a challenging problem. In common applications such as Gnutella, searching is performed by randomly forwarding queries to all pee...
We examine the problem of retrieving the top-m ranked items from a large collection, randomly distributed across an n-node system. In order to retrieve the top m overall, we must ...
We contribute Policy Reuse as a technique to improve a reinforcement learning agent with guidance from past learned similar policies. Our method relies on using the past policies ...
Abstract Investigating a data set of the critical size makes a classification task difficult. Studying dissimilarity data refers to such a problem, since the number of samples equa...
