Sequential selection was introduced for Evolution Strategies (ESs) with the aim of accelerating their convergence— performing the evaluations of the different offspring sequen...
Discrepancy is a versatile bound in communication complexity which can be used to show lower bounds in the distributional, randomized, quantum, and even unbounded error models of ...
We develop a family of upper and lower bounds on the worst-case expected KL loss for estimating a discrete distribution on a finite number m of points, given N i.i.d. samples. Our...
The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
This paper discusses the effects of mutation and directed intervention crossover approaches when applied to the derivation of cancer chemotherapy treatment schedules. Unlike trad...
