This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In this paper we will describe Berkeley's approach to the ImageCLEF Wikipedia Retrieval task for 2010. Our approach to this task was primarily to use text-based searches on th...
In evolutionary computation, experimental results are commonly analyzed using an algorithmic performance metric called best-so-far. While best-so-far can be a useful metric, its u...
