Optimizing Feature Sets for Structured Data
Choosing a suitable feature representation for structured data is a non-trivial task due to the vast number of potential candidates. Ideally, one would like to pick a small, but in...

Geometric lower bounds for parametric matroid optimization
We relate the sequence of minimum bases of a matroid with linearly varying weights to three problems from combinatorial geometry: k-sets, lower envelopes of line segments, and con...

An agent-based approach to solve dynamic meeting scheduling problems with preferences
Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is deļ¬...

Near-Optimal Sensor Placements in Gaussian Processes: Theory, Efficient Algorithms and Empirical Studies
When monitoring spatial phenomena, which can often be modeled as Gaussian processes (GPs), choosing sensor locations is a fundamental task. There are several common strategies to ...

Improved analysis methods for crossover-based algorithms
We deepen the theoretical analysis of the genetic algorithm for the all-pairs shortest path problem proposed by Doerr, Happ and Klein (GECCO 2008). We show that the growth of the ...
