Abstract. The parameter-less hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) enables the use of hBOA without the need for tuning parameters for solving each problem instance. T...
This paper proposes a person-centered approach for personal task management in which people can decide management of their tasks according to their environments including their su...
A second-generation autonomous music composition tool is developed using Genetic Algorithms. The composition is conducted in two Stages. The first Stage generates and identifies m...
Shaping functions can be used in multi-task reinforcement learning (RL) to incorporate knowledge from previously experienced tasks to speed up learning on a new task. So far, rese...
Manydesign problems are solved using multiple levels of abstraction, wherea design at one level has combinatorially manychildren at the next level. A stochastic optimization metho...
