Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a popular framework for cooperative multi-agent decision making. DCOP is NPhard, so an important line of work focuses on developing f...

We propose a method that dramatically improves the performance of template-based matching in terms of size of convergence region and computation time. This is done by selecting a ...

This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
Having access to large data sets for the purpose of predictive data mining does not guarantee good models, even when the size of the training data is virtually unlimited. Instead,...
: We document our participation in the TREC 2008 Legal Track. This year we focused solely on selecting rank cut-offs for optimizing the given evaluation measure per topic.
