Recently, much research has been proposed using nature inspired algorithms to perform complex machine learning tasks. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is one such algorithm based on s...
Abstract. They appeared in our life some years ago with the awakening of the PC and now the are everywhere : computers have become ubiquitous and, almost, irreplaceable. Classical ...
We explore the use of information models as a guide for the development of single objective optimization algorithms, giving particular attention to the use of Bayesian models in a...
The requirements imposed on information retrieval systems are increasing steadily. The vast number of documents in today's large databases and especially on World Wide Web ca...
Beam-ACO algorithms are hybrid methods that combine the metaheuristic ant colony optimization with beam search. They heavily rely on accurate and computationally inexpensive boundi...
