Evolution Strategies (ES) for black-box optimization of a function f : Rn → R are investigated. Namely, we consider the cumulative step-size adaptation (CSA) for the variance of...
We propose a novel mechanism for answering sets of counting queries under differential privacy. Given a workload of counting queries, the mechanism automatically selects a differ...
We propose an evolutionary algorithm for the enhancement of digital semi-fragile watermaking based on the manipulation of the image discrete cosine transform (DCT). The algorithm ...
A bulk synchronous computation proceeds in phases that are separated by barrier synchronization. For dynamic bulk synchronous computations that exhibit varying phase-wise computat...
In this paper we present a new evolutionary method for complex-process optimization. It is partially based on principles of the scatter search methodology, but it makes use of inn...
