I present MOSES (meta-optimizing semantic evolutionary search), a new probabilistic modeling (estimation of distribution) approach to program evolution. Distributions are not esti...
This paper shows a way to speed up search by using an encoding at bit level to model a particular domain. A bitboard is an unsigned integer whose bits have been given an interpret...
Today, search engine is the most commonly used tool for Web information retrieval, however, its current status is still far from satisfaction. This paper focuses on clustering Web...
Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
Popular P2P file-sharing systems like Gnutella and Kazaa use unstructured network designs. These networks typically adopt flooding-based search techniques to locate files. Whil...
