Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
Guided by an initial idea of building a complex (non linear) decision surface with maximal local margin in input space, we give a possible geometrical intuition as to why K-Neares...
The paradigm of the proxel ("probability element") was recently introduced in order to provide a new algorithmic approach to analysing discrete-state stochastic models s...
