Information Collection on a Graph
We derive a knowledge gradient policy for an optimal learning problem on a graph, in which we use sequential measurements to refine Bayesian estimates of individual edge values i...

Reconsidering the progress rate theory for evolution strategies in finite dimensions
This paper investigates the limits of the predictions based on the classical progress rate theory for Evolution Strategies. We explain on the sphere function why positive progress...

Grid result checking
Result checking is the theory and practice of proving that the result of an execution of a program on an input is correct. Result checking has most often been envisioned in the fr...

Comparing Search Algorithms for the Temperature Inversion Problem
Several inverse problems exist in the atmospheric sciences that are computationally costly when using traditional gradient based methods. Unfortunately, many standard evolutionary ...
