We present N-gram GP, an estimation of distribution algorithm for the evolution of linear computer programs. The algorithm learns and samples the joint probability distribution of...
We consider the problem of specifying data structures with complex sharing in a manner that is both declarative and results in provably correct code. In our approach, abstract data...

We consider multi-period portfolio selection problems for a decision maker with a specified utility function when the variance of security returns is described by a discrete time ...
The phenomenon of diminishing returns for additional search effort has been observed by several researchers. We study experimentally additional factors which influence the behavio...
As simulation and rendering capabilities continue to increase, volumetric effects like smoke, fire or explosions will be frequently encountered in computer games and virtual envir...
