Clustering is often formulated as a discrete optimization problem. The objective is to find, among all partitions of the data set, the best one according to some quality measure....
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
Many evolutionary computation search spaces require fitness assessment through the sampling of and generalization over a large set of possible cases as input. Such spaces seem par...
This paper is concerned with developing an information-theoretic framework to aggregate the state space of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on discrete state and observation spaces. The...
In this paper, we present a novel evolutionary algorithm, called NOCEA, which is suitable for Data Mining (DM) clustering applications. NOCEA evolves individuals that consist of a ...
