Histograms and Wavelet synopses provide useful tools in query optimization and approximate query answering. Traditional histogram construction algorithms, such as V-Optimal, optim...
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...
In this paper, we introduce a new genetic representation -- a splicing/decomposable (S/D) binary encoding, which was proposed based on some theoretical guidance and existing recom...
Positioning multiple sensors for acquisition of a a given environment is one of the fundamental research areas in various fields, such as military scouting, computer vision and ro...
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
