With over 800 million pages covering most areas of human endeavor, the World-wide Web is a fertile ground for data mining research to make a di erence to the e ectiveness of infor...
Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
Ensemble learning is attracting much attention from pattern recognition and machine learning domains for good generalization. Both theoretical and experimental researches show tha...
Genetic algorithms are a population-based Meta heuristics. They have been successfully applied to many optimization problems. However, premature convergence is an inherent charact...
