We consider the problem of finding a set of attribute values that give a high quality binary segmentation of a database. The quality of a segmentation is defined by an objective fu...
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
We introduce the Line Search A-Function (LSAF) technique that generalizes the Extended-Baum Welch technique in order to provide an effective optimization technique for a broader s...

A cross-validation error estimator is obtained by repeatedly leaving out some data points, deriving classifiers on the remaining points, computing errors for these classifiers on ...
In this paper we describe and evaluate a fully distributed P2P evolutionary algorithm (EA) with adaptive autonomous selection. Autonomous selection means that decisions regarding ...
