In this paper we propose a cultural algorithm, where different knowledge sources modify the variation operator of a differential evolution algorithm. Differential evolution is u...
Preference queries are relational algebra or SQL queries that contain occurrences of the winnow operator (find the most preferred tuples in a given relation). We present here a nu...
In many practical applications of simulation it is desirable to optimize the levels of integer or binary variables that are inputs for the simulation model. In these cases, the ob...

We consider the problem of query plan optimization in information brokers. Information brokers are programs that facilitate access to collections of information sources by hiding ...
—Many real world learning problems can be recast as multi-task learning problems which utilize correlations among different tasks to obtain better generalization performance than...
