This paper describes and analyzes sporadic model building, which can be used to enhance the efficiency of the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) and other advance...
Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...

In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
