This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...
A wide range of computer programs, including compilers and theorem provers, manipulate data structures that involve names and binding. However, the design of programming idioms wh...
We consider the problem of multi-task reinforcement learning where the learner is provided with a set of tasks, for which only a small number of samples can be generated for any g...
Query reformulation techniques based on query logs have recently proven to be effective for web queries. However, when initial queries have reasonably good quality, these techniqu...
A basic problem in the management of web servers is capacity planning: you want enough capacity to be able to serve peak loads, but not too much so as to avoid excessive costs. It...
