— One of the central issues in Learning to Rank (L2R) for Information Retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures ...
An adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) that features better search efficiency than classical particle swarm optimization (PSO) is presented. More importantly, it can perfor...
— This paper attempts to address the question of scaling up Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms to high dimensional optimization problems. We present a cooperative coevo...
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been in practice for more than 10 years now and has gained wide popularity in various optimization tasks. In the context to single objective ...
— Quasirandom or low discrepancy sequences, such as the Van der Corput, Sobol, Faure, Halton (named after their inventors) etc. are less random than a pseudorandom number sequenc...
