A new family of boosting algorithms, denoted TaylorBoost, is proposed. It supports any combination of loss function and first or second order optimization, and includes classical...

It is not unusual that an approximate model is needed for fitness evaluation in evolutionary computation. In this case, the convergence properties of the evolutionary algorithm are...
In this paper we study the convergence properties of the power series algorithm, which is a general method to determine (functions of) stationary distributions of Markov chains. W...
There are many proposals for language techniques to control aliasing and encapsulation in object oriented programs, typically based on notions of object ownership and pointer uniq...
IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
