Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
In this paper we analyze the PAC learning abilities of several simple iterative algorithms for learning linear threshold functions, obtaining both positive and negative results. W...
Studying the genetic control of molecular, anatomical and/or morphological phenotypes in model organisms is a powerful tool in the functional analysis of a gene. The goal of our r...

This paper derives a near optimal distributed Kalman filter to estimate a large-scale random field monitored by a network of N sensors. The field is described by a sparsely con...
