Data reduction in classification: A simulated annealing based projection method
This paper is concerned with classifying high dimensional data into one of two categories. In various settings, such as when dealing with fMRI and microarray data, the number of v...

Design of tensegrity structures using parametric analysis and stochastic search
Tensegrity structures are lightweight structures composed of cables in tension and struts in compression. Since tensegrity systems exhibit geometrically nonlinear behavior, findin...

Stochastic Search in a Forest Revisited
We consider a generalization of the model of stochastic search in an out-forest, introduced and studied by Denardo, Rothblum, and Van der Heyden [1]. We provide a simple proof of ...

How experimental algorithmics can benefit from Mayo's extensions to Neyman-Pearson theory of testing
Although theoretical results for several algorithms in many application domains were presented during the last decades, not all algorithms can be analyzed fully theoretically. Exp...

Localizing Search in Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) can be impractical for many high dimensional problems because of the computational cost of doing stochastic search in large state spaces. We propose a ...

Random Subset Optimization
Some of the most successful algorithms for satisfiability, such as Walksat, are based on random walks. Similarly, local search algorithms for solving constraint optimization proble...

A Generalized Feedforward Neural Network Architecture and Its Training Using Two Stochastic Search Methods
Shunting Inhibitory Artificial Neural Networks (SIANNs) are biologically inspired networks in which the synaptic interactions are mediated via a nonlinear mechanism called shuntin...
