Abstract. State-of-the-art solvers for mixed integer programming (MIP) problems are highly parameterized, and finding parameter settings that achieve high performance for specific ...
We present the design of a banner advertising auction which is considerably more expressive than current designs. We describe a general model of expressive ad contracts/bidding an...

Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
Abstract. We investigate the use of parameterized state machine models to drive integration testing, in the case where the models of components are not available beforehand. Theref...
We consider the problem of sparse interpolation of a multivariate black-box polynomial in floating-point arithmetic. That is, both the inputs and outputs of the black-box polynomia...
