The purpose of this study is to develop an optimum design method for roof shapes satisfying both aesthetic sensibility (beauty) and economic evaluation by using the genetic algori...
We benchmark an independent-restart-(1+1)-CMA-ES on the BBOB-2009 noisy testbed. The (1+1)-CMA-ES is an adaptive stochastic algorithm for the optimization of objective functions d...
In the rank join problem we are given a relational join R1 1 R2 and a function that assigns numeric scores to the join tuples, and the goal is to return the tuples with the highes...
The maximum rank correlation (MRC) estimator was originally studied by Han [1987. Nonparametric analysis of a generalized regression model. J. Econometrics 35, 303–316] and Sher...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) can be used for designing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms that work, in some cases, considerably better than the human-designed ones. By...
