Empirical justification of the gain and discount function for nDCG
The nDCG measure has proven to be a popular measure of retrieval effectiveness utilizing graded relevance judgments. However, a number of different instantiations of nDCG exist, d...

Precision, local search and unimodal functions
We investigate the effects of precision on the efficiency of various local search algorithms on 1-D unimodal functions. We present a (1 + 1)-EA with adaptive step size which fin...

Mutation rates of the (1+1)-EA on pseudo-boolean functions of bounded epistasis
When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...

Parallel Evaluation Strategies for Functional Logic Languages
We introduce novel, sound, complete, and locally optimal evaluation strategies for functional logic programming languages. Our strategies combine, in a non-trivial way, two landma...

Mask functions for the symbolic modeling of epistasis using genetic programming
The study of common, complex multifactorial diseases in genetic epidemiology is complicated by nonlinearity in the genotype-to-phenotype mapping relationship that is due, in part,...
