A Fast and Elitist Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm: NSGA-II

by Kalyanmoy Deb, Amrit Pratap, Sameer Agarwal, T. Meyarivan , 2000
"... Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms which use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been mainly criticized for their (i) O(MN computational complexity (where M is the number of objectives and N is the population size), (ii) non-elitism approach, and (iii) the need for specifying a sharing param ..."

-II is observed. Because of NSGA-II's low computational requirements, elitist approach, parameter-less niching approach, and simple constraint-handling strategy, NSGA-II should find increasing applications in the coming years.

Sparse coding with an overcomplete basis set: a strategy employed by V1

by Bruno A. Olshausen, David J. Fieldt - Vision Research , 1997
"... The spatial receptive fields of simple cells in mammalian striate cortex have been reasonably well described physiologically and can be characterized as being localized, oriented, and ban@ass, comparable with the basis functions of wavelet transforms. Previously, we have shown that these receptive f ..."

Risk-management: coordinating corporate investment and financing policies

by Kenneth A. Froot, David S. Scharfstein, Jeremy C. Stein , 1993
"... This paper develops a general framework for analyzing corporate risk management policies. We begin by observing that if external sources of finance are more costly to corporations than internally generated funds, there will typically be a benefit to hedging: hedging adds value to the extent that it ..."

that it helps ensure that a corporation has sufficient internal funds available to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities. We then argue that this simple observation has wide ranging impli-cations for the design of risk management strategies. We delineate how these strategies should depend

A unified theory of underreaction, momentum trading and overreaction in asset markets

by Harrison Hong, Jeremy C. Stein , 1999
"... We model a market populated by two groups of boundedly rational agents: “newswatchers” and “momentum traders.” Each newswatcher observes some private information, but fails to extract other newswatchers’ information from prices. If information diffuses gradually across the population, prices underre ..."

underreact in the short run. The underreaction means that the momentum traders can profit by trendchasing. However, if they can only implement simple (i.e., univariate) strategies, their attempts at arbitrage must inevitably lead to overreaction at long horizons. In addition to providing a unified account

Mean shift, mode seeking, and clustering

by Yizong Cheng - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1995
"... Mean shift, a simple iterative procedure that shifts each data point to the average of data points in its neighborhood, is generalized and analyzed in this paper. This generalization makes some k-means like clustering algorithms its special cases. It is shown that mean shift is a mode-seeking proce ..."

Face recognition: features versus templates

by Roberto Brunelli, Tomaso Poggio - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... Over the last 20 years, several different techniques have been proposed for computer recognition of human faces. The purpose of this paper is to compare two simple but general strategies on a common database (frontal images of faces of 47 people: 26 males and 21 females, four images per person). We ..."

Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing

by Karl Czajkowski , Steven Fitzgerald, Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman , 2001
"... Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations. In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."

and monitoring, and hence for planning and adapting application behavior. We present here an information services architecture that addresses performance, security, scalability, and robustness requirements. Our architecture defines simple low-level enquiry and registration protocols that make it easy

The Nonstochastic Multiarmed Bandit Problem

by Peter Auer, Nicolo Cesa-bianchi, Yoav Freund, Robert E. Schapire - SIAM JOURNAL OF COMPUTING , 2002
"... In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K non-identical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This classical problem has received much attention because of the simple model it provides of the trade-off between exploration (trying out ..."

Minimizing conflicts: a heuristic repair method for constraint satisfaction and scheduling problems

by Steven Minton, Mark D. Johnston, Andrew B. Philips, Philip Laird - ARTIF. INTELL , 1992
"... This paper describes a simple heuristic approach to solving large-scale constraint satisfaction and scheduling problems. In this approach one starts with an inconsistent assignment for a set of variables and searches through the space of possible repairs. The search can be guided by a value-orderin ..."

Locality-constrained linear coding for image classification
