A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
Real-world datasets exhibit a complex dependency structure among the data attributes. Learning this structure is a key task in automatic statistics configuration for query optimi...
Background: Chow and Liu showed that the maximum likelihood tree for multivariate discrete distributions may be found using a maximum weight spanning tree algorithm, for example K...

Background: Many biological processes involve the physical interaction between protein domains. Understanding these functional associations requires knowledge of the molecular str...
Abstract. Spatially structured population models improve the performance of genetic algorithms by assisting the selection scheme in maintaining diversity. A significant concern wi...
