Abstract— We present a novel framework that applies a metalearning approach to clustering algorithms. Given a dataset, our meta-learning approach provides a ranking for the candi...
— In this work we show that a metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), can be effectively used in order to improve the performance of the hardware–friendly versio...
—This paper proposes a novel method for data editing. The goal of data editing in instance-based learning is to remove instances from a training set in order to increase the accu...
— Exploratory activities seem to be crucial for our cognitive development. According to psychologists, exploration is an intrinsically rewarding behaviour. The developmental robo...
—In this paper, the IEEE 802.16 protocol is investigated with respect to the bandwidth provision problem arising at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The aim is to optimally...
