Abstract—Memetics is a new science that has attracted increasing attentions in the recent decades. Beyond the formalism of simple hybrids, adaptive hybrids and memetic algorithms...
In this paper, we study cost-sensitive semi-supervised learning where many of the training examples are unlabeled and different misclassification errors are associated with unequa...
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

We consider auction design in a setting with costly preference elicitation. Well designed auctions can help to avoid unnecessary elicitation while determining efficient allocations...
We propose a method to recognize the `social attitude' of users towards an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) from a combination of linguistic and prosodic features. After de...
