— We propose a new family of classification algorithms in the spirit of support vector machines, that builds in non-conservative protection to noise and controls overfitting. O...
This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
Cumulative scheduling is a generalization of jobshop scheduling, where machines have discrete capacities and activities may require several capacity units. This paper considers it...
Genetic Algorithm (GA) is known as a potent multiobjective optimization method, and the effectiveness of hybridizing it with local search (LS) has recently been reported in the li...
In this paper the sequential prediction problem with expert advice is considered for the case when the losses of experts suffered at each step can be unbounded. We present some mo...
