Abstract— We propose an asynchronous island-model algorithm distribution framework and test the popular Differential Evolution algorithm performance when a few processors are ava...
Using data collected between August 1999 and January 2000, we examine firm-level pricing strategies for 32 online bookstores. The data cover more than 300 books, including New Yor...
We propose a novel variant of the conjugate gradient algorithm, Kernel Conjugate Gradient (KCG), designed to speed up learning for kernel machines with differentiable loss functio...
A drawback of the commonly used single source computed tomography systems (CT) is that different materials might show very similar attenuation at any selected radiation energy. How...
