Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
Reinforcement learning promises a generic method for adapting agents to arbitrary tasks in arbitrary stochastic environments, but applying it to new real-world problems remains di...
Linear programming (LP) based methods are attractive for solving the placement problem because of their ability to model Half-Perimeter Wirelength (HPWL) and timing. However, it h...
In this paper we give a specification of a new block cipher that can be called the Courtois Toy Cipher (CTC). It is quite simple, and yet very much like any other known block ciph...
