Competitive Environments Evolve Better Solutions for Complex Tasks

by Peter J. Angeline, Jordan B. Pollack - GA93 , 1993
"... In the typical genetic algorithm experiment, the fitness function is constructed to be independent of the contents of the population to provide a consistent objective measure. Such objectivity entails significant knowledge about the environment which suggests either the problem has previously been s ..."

solved or other non-evolutionary techniques may be more efficient. Furthermore, for many complex tasks an independent fitness function is either impractical or impossible to provide. In this paper, we demonstrate that competitive fitness functions, i.e. fitness functions that are dependent

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex “Frontal Lobe” tasks: a latent variable analysis

by Akira Miyake, Naomi P. Friedman, Michael J. Emerson, Alexander H. Witzki, Amy Howerter, Tor D. Wager - COGNIT PSYCHOL , 2000
"... This individual differences study examined the separability of three often postulated executive functions—mental set shifting ("Shifting"), information updating and monitoring ("Updating"), and inhibition of prepotent responses ("Inhibition")—and their roles in complex ..."

Performance-Effective and Low-Complexity Task Scheduling for Heterogeneous Computing

by Haluk Topcuoglu, Min-you Wu, et al. - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS , 2002
"... Efficient application scheduling is critical for achieving high performance in heterogeneous computing environments. The application scheduling problem has been shown to be NP-complete in general cases as well as in several restricted cases. Because of its key importance, this problem has been exte ..."

and the Critical-Path-on-a-Processor (CPOP) algorithm. The HEFT algorithm selects the task with the highest upward rank value at each step and assigns the selected task to the processor, which minimizes its earliest finish time with an insertion-based approach. On the other hand, the CPOP algorithm uses

Coupled hidden Markov models for complex action recognition

by Matthew Brand, Nuria Oliver, Alex Pentland , 1996
"... We present algorithms for coupling and training hidden Markov models (HMMs) to model interacting processes, and demonstrate their superiority to conventional HMMs in a vision task classifying two-handed actions. HMMs are perhaps the most successful framework in perceptual computing for modeling and ..."

A Learning Algorithm for Continually Running Fully Recurrent Neural Networks

by Ronald J. Williams, David Zipser , 1989
"... The exact form of a gradient-following learning algorithm for completely recurrent networks running in continually sampled time is derived and used as the basis for practical algorithms for temporal supervised learning tasks. These algorithms have: (1) the advantage that they do not require a precis ..."

precisely defined training interval, operating while the network runs; and (2) the disadvantage that they require nonlocal communication in the network being trained and are computationally expensive. These algorithms are shown to allow networks having recurrent connections to learn complex tasks requiring

A New Location Technique for the Active Office

by Andy Ward, Alan Jones , 1997
"... Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex task that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to examine computers that would autonomously change their functionality based on observations of who or ..."

A standardized set of 260 pictures: Norms for name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity

by Joan Gay Snodgrass, Mary Vanderwart - JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: HUMAN LEARNING AND MEMORY , 1980
"... In this article we present a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial represent ..."

The intercorrelations among the four measures were low, suggesting that the) ' are indices of different

An integrated theory of the mind

by John R. Anderson, Daniel Bothell, Michael D. Byrne, Scott Douglass, Christian Lebiere, Yulin Qin - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 2004
"... There has been a proliferation of proposed mental modules in an attempt to account for different cognitive functions but so far there has been no successful account of their integration. ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) has evolved into a theory that consists of multiple modules but also explain ..."

of some modules. Much of learning involves tuning of these subsymbolic processes. Empirical examples are presented that illustrate the predictions of ACT-R’s modules. In addition, two models of complex tasks are described to illustrate how these modules result in strong predictions when they are brought

Data Preparation for Mining World Wide Web Browsing Patterns
