In the pertinent literature, an ongoing discussion can be found about whether evolutionary algorithms are better suited for optimization or adaptation. Unfortunately, the pertinent...
Abstract. Good estimates of join result sizes are critical for query optimization in relational database management systems. We address the problem of incrementally obtaining accur...
Abstract. In our previous work we have shown that Mahalanobis kernels are useful for support vector classifiers both from generalization ability and model selection speed. In this ...
In this paper, we describe how a genetic algorithm approach added to a simulated annealing (SA) process offers a better alternative to find the mean variance frontier in the portf...

Coordinate gradient learning is motivated by the problem of variable selection and determining variable covariation. In this paper we propose a novel unifying framework for coordi...
