The restarted estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) with Cauchy distribution as the probabilistic model is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. These tests prove that when using ...
The method of conjugate gradients provides a very effective way to optimize large, deterministic systems by gradient descent. In its standard form, however, it is not amenable to ...
Marques and Almeida [9] recently proposed a nonlinear data seperation technique based on the maximum entropy principle of Bell and Sejnowsky. The idea behind is a pattern repulsion...

Boosting algorithms like AdaBoost and Arc-GV are iterative strategies to minimize a constrained objective function, equivalent to Barrier algorithms. Based on this new understandi...
Abstract. We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent ...
