Taxon ordering in phylogenetic trees: a workbench test
Background: Phylogenetic trees are an important tool for representing evolutionary relationships among organisms. In a phylogram or chronogram, the ordering of taxa is not conside...

Promising infeasibility and multiple offspring incorporated to differential evolution for constrained optimization
In this paper, we incorporate a diversity mechanism to the differential evolution algorithm to solve constrained optimization problems without using a penalty function. The aim is...

Learning optimally diverse rankings over large document collections
Most learning to rank research has assumed that the utility of different documents is independent, which results in learned ranking functions that return redundant results. The fe...

Fast direct policy evaluation using multiscale analysis of Markov diffusion processes
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analysis of Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...
