The family of natural evolution strategies (NES) offers a principled approach to real-valued evolutionary optimization by following the natural gradient of the expected fitness....

The behavior of a multithreaded program does not depend only on its inputs. Scheduling, memory reordering, timing, and low-level hardware effects all introduce nondeterminism in t...

We study the computational complexity of basic decision problems for one-counter simple stochastic games (OC-SSGs), under various objectives. OC-SSGs are 2-player turn-based stoch...
In biological applications, the tandem mass spectrometry is a widely used method for determining protein and peptide sequences from an ”in vitro” sample. The sequences are not...
Web search engines discover indexable documents by recursively ‘crawling’ from a seed URL. Their rankings take into account link popularity. While this works well, it introduc...
