We consider Internet broadband access as an elastic service whose value varies across segments of the user population. We show that introducing multiple tiers of service can be an ...
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...
An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
An autonomous variational inference algorithm for arbitrary graphical models requires the ability to optimize variational approximations over the space of model parameters as well...
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...
