Let L be a finite distributive lattice and µ : L → R+ a logsupermodular function. For functions k : L → R+ let Eµ(k; q) def = x∈L k(x)µ(x)qrank(x) ∈ R+ [q]. We prove fo...
This paper uses an optimization approach to address the problem of conceptual clustering. The aim of AGAPE, which is based on the tabu-search meta-heuristic using split, merge and ...
In this paper we consider stochastic programming problems where the objective function is given as an expected value of a convex piecewise linear random function. With an optimal s...

We present a new method for regularized convex optimization and analyze it under both online and stochastic optimization settings. In addition to unifying previously known firstor...

This paper discusses a new model of parallel evolutionary algorithms (EAs) called the specialized island model (SIM) that can be used to generate a set of diverse non-dominated sol...
