We present an optimization algorithm based on a model of bacterial chemotaxis. The original biological model is used to formulate a simple optimization algorithm, which is evaluate...
Two notions of optimality have been explored in previous work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL): hierarchical optimality, or the optimal policy in the space defined by ...
Fundamental to any graph cut segmentation methods is the assignment of edge weights. The existing solutions typically use gaussian, exponential or rectangular cost functions with ...
We consider the problem of recovering from failures of distributable threads (“threads”) in distributed realtime systems that operate under run-time uncertainties including th...

This paper extends our previous work by exploring the use of a hybrid solution method for solving the connection subgraph problem. We employ a two phase solution method, which dras...
