A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
We introduce a new, powerful class of text proximity queries: find an instance of a given "answer type" (person, place, distance) near "selector" tokens matchi...
In this paper, we discuss the use of Targeted Trajectory Distribution Markov Decision Processes (TTD-MDPs)—a variant of MDPs in which the goal is to realize a specified distrib...

Mutation-based Evolutionary Algorithms, also known as Evolutionary Programming (EP) are commonly applied to Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) parameters optimization. This paper pre...

We present a technique for restructuring functions with low cohesion into functions with high cohesion. Such restructuring is desirable when re-architecting a legacy system into a...
