Automated generation of heuristics for biological sequence comparison
Background: Exhaustive methods of sequence alignment are accurate but slow, whereas heuristic approaches run quickly, but their complexity makes them more difficult to implement. ...

Studying XCS/BOA learning in Boolean functions: structure encoding and random Boolean functions
Recently, studies with the XCS classifier system on Boolean functions have shown that in certain types of functions simple crossover operators can lead to disruption and, conseque...

Testing juntas nearly optimally
A function on n variables is called a k-junta if it depends on at most k of its variables. In this article, we show that it is possible to test whether a function is a k-junta or ...

What Can We Learn Privately?
Learning problems form an important category of computational tasks that generalizes many of the computations researchers apply to large real-life data sets. We ask: what concept ...

GAMPS: compressing multi sensor data by grouping and amplitude scaling
We consider the problem of collectively approximating a set of sensor signals using the least amount of space so that any individual signal can be efficiently reconstructed within...
