We consider two of the most commonly cited measures of retrieval performance: average precision and R-precision. It is well known that average precision and R-precision are highly...
In Information Retrieval (IR), the Dirichlet Priors have been applied to the smoothing technique of the language modeling approach. In this paper, we apply the Dirichlet Priors to...
The development of the XCS Learning Classifier System has produced a robust and stable implementation that performs competitively in direct-reward environments. Although investig...
This paper offers a novel approach to coevolution based on the sociological theory of symbolic interactionism. It provides a multi-agent computational model along with experimenta...
This paper presents a kernel density estimation method by means of real-coded crossovers. Estimation of density algorithms (EDAs) are evolutionary optimization techniques, which d...
