Abstract. An important task in many scientific and engineering disciplines is to set up experiments with the goal of finding the best instances (substances, compositions, designs) ...
Universal induction solves in principle the problem of choosing a prior to achieve optimal inductive inference. The AIXI theory, which combines control theory and universal induct...
We review the basic principles of Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, the randomizations that turn them into variancereduction techniques, and the main classes of constructions under...
Difficult real-time AI problems require a means for expressing multi-dimensional and dynamic goal criteria and a principled model for satisficing to best meet the criteria. In the...
—This paper presents a program for structural synthesis -conception and design work-of the multiple fixture devices in the machine-tool structure. This program was created accord...
