Automated political districting shares with electronic voting the aim of preventing electoral manipulation and pursuing an impartial electoral mechanism. Political districting can...
We consider multi-armed bandit problems where the number of arms is larger than the possible number of experiments. We make a stochastic assumption on the mean-reward of a new sel...
Active learning (AL) promises to reduce the cost of annotating labeled datasets for trainable human language technologies. Contrary to expectations, when creating labeled training...
The paper summarizes some important results at the intersection of the fields of Bayesian statistics and stochastic simulation. Two statistical analysis issues for stochastic sim...
We suggest a new heuristic for solving unconstrained continuous optimization problems. It is based on a generalized version of the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic. Diff...
