We consider the problem of estimating the small probability that a function of a finite number of random variables exceeds a large threshold. Each input random variable may be lig...
Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms have long been applied to engineering problems. Lately they have also been used to evolve behaviors for intelligent agents. In such applicat...
Past research on software comprehension tools has produced a wealth of lessons in building good tools. However our explanations of these tools tends to be weakly grounded in exist...
Abstract. We propose inductive distance-based methods for instance classification and retrieval in ontologies. Casting retrieval as a classification problem with the goal of assess...
