Abstract. Theoretical and empirical evidence exists that the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) can solve challenging hierarchical problems and anything easier. Th...
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
Abstract. A key problem in designing artificial neural networks for visual object recognition tasks is the proper choice of the network architecture. Evolutionary optimization met...

We describe a generator for hierarchical problems called the Hierarchical Problem Generator (HPG). Hierarchical problems are of interest since they constitute a class of problems ...
