A distributed learning framework for heterogeneous data sources
We present a probabilistic model-based framework for distributed learning that takes into account privacy restrictions and is applicable to scenarios where the different sites ha...

Probabilistic distribution models for EDA-based GP
This paper proposes a novel technique for a program evolution based on probabilistic models. In the proposed method, two probabilistic distribution models with probabilistic depen...

Factorial representations to generate arbitrary search distributions
A powerful approach to search is to try to learn a distribution of good solutions (in particular of the dependencies between their variables) and use this distribution as a basis ...

Modeling Uncertainty in Context-Aware Computing
Uncertainty always exists as an unavoidable factor in any pervasive context-aware applications. This is mostly caused by the imperfectness and incompleteness of data. In this pape...

From conditional probability to the logic of doxastic actions
We investigate the discrete (finite) case of the Popper-Renyi theory of conditional probability, introducing discrete conditional probabilistic models for (multi-agent) knowledge...
