In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain. The chain is obtained by perturbing the transition matrix induced by a web graph with a damping factor α that spre...
In this paper we introduce the notion of approximate implementations for Probabilistic I/O Automata (PIOA) and develop methods for proving such relationships. We employ a task str...
One challenge faced by many Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) systems is poor scalability to problems with large search spaces and many examples. Randomized search methods such as ...
The medial axis of a shape is known to carry a lot of information about it. In particular a recent result of Lieutier establishes that every bounded open subset of Rn has the same...
