The family of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanisms is arguably the most celebrated achievement in truthful mechanism design. However, VCG mechanisms have their limitations. They...
We study a sparse coding learning algorithm that allows for a simultaneous learning of the data sparseness and the basis functions. The algorithm is derived based on a generative m...
We introduce a clustering-based method of subpopulation management in genetic programming (GP) called Evolutionary Tree Genetic Programming (ETGP). The biological motivation behin...
We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
Call a set of integers {b1, b2, . . . , bk} admissible if for any prime p, at least one congruence class modulo p does not contain any of the bi. Let (x) be the size of the largest...
