This paper presents a hybrid technique that combines List Scheduling (LS) with Genetic Algorithms (GA) for constructing non-preemptive schedules for soft real-time parallel applic...
We consider the problem of finding the best arm in a stochastic multi-armed bandit game. The regret of a forecaster is here defined by the gap between the mean reward of the optim...
In this paper, we propose a second order optimization method to learn models where both the dimensionality of the parameter space and the number of training samples is high. In ou...
We investigate the optimal performance of dense sensor networks by studying the joint source-channel coding problem. The overall goal of the sensor network is to take measurements...
Reliable execution and analysis of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) normally requires many runs to provide reasonable assurance that stochastic effects have been properly considered...
