Abstract: Melody is an important property for the perceptual description of Western musical pieces. In the monophonic context, retrieval systems based on melodic similarity general...
This paper presents an adaptation of a novel algorithm based on the foraging behavior of honey bees to solve constrained numerical optimization problems. The modifications focus on...
We present new algorithms for reinforcement learning, and prove that they have polynomial bounds on the resources required to achieve near-optimal return in general Markov decisio...
Most learning to rank research has assumed that the utility of different documents is independent, which results in learned ranking functions that return redundant results. The fe...

Abstract. Ant algorithms are usually derived from a stochastic modeling based on some specific probability laws. We consider in this paper a full deterministic model of "logis...
