In this work, our objective is to heuristically discover a simplified form of functional dependencies between variables called weak dependencies. Once discovered, these relations...
We have recently introduced a hyper-heuristic genetic algorithm (hyper-GA) with an adaptive length chromosome which aims to evolve an ordering of low-level heuristics so as to find...
Web usage mining plays an important role in the personalization of Web services, adaptation of Web sites, and the improvement of Web server performance. It applies data mining tec...
