This paper aims to conduct a study on the listwise approach to learning to rank. The listwise approach learns a ranking function by taking individual lists as instances and minimi...
During the optimization of a constrained problem using evolutionary algorithms (EAs), an individual in the population can be described using three important properties, i.e., obje...
In the rank join problem we are given a relational join R1 1 R2 and a function that assigns numeric scores to the join tuples, and the goal is to return the tuples with the highes...
We propose a general and efficient algorithm for learning low-rank matrices. The proposed algorithm converges super-linearly and can keep the matrix to be learned in a compact fac...
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
