Simulations involving processes at very different time scales can be so slow to converge that starting in one state and waiting for a representative sample of the state space to b...
ABSURDIST II, an extension to ABSURDIST, is an algorithm using attributed graph matching to find translations between conceptual systems. It uses information about the internal st...
We review the basic principles of Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, the randomizations that turn them into variancereduction techniques, and the main classes of constructions under...
Gridworlds are popular testbeds for planning with incomplete information but not much is known about their properties. We study a fundamental planning problem, localization, to in...
When applying the 2-opt heuristic to the travelling salesman problem, selecting the best improvement at each iteration gives worse results on average than selecting the first impr...
