Adaptive kNN using Expected Accuracy for Classification of Geo-Spatial Data
Mark Kibanov, Martin Becker, Juergen Mueller +3
The k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classification approach is conceptually simple - yet widely applied since it often performs well in practical applications. However, using a global con…
Fisher-Schultz Lecture: Generic Machine Learning Inference on Heterogenous Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments, with an Application to Immunization in India
Victor Chernozhukov, Mert Demirer, Esther Duflo +1
We propose strategies to estimate and make inference on key features of heterogeneous effects in randomized experiments. These key features include best linear predictors of the ef…
Genetic Algorithms for Evolving Computer Chess Programs
Eli David, H. Jaap van den Herik, Moshe Koppel +1
This paper demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms for evolving: 1) a grandmaster-level evaluation function, and 2) a search mechanism for a chess program, the parameter values…
Simulating Human Grandmasters: Evolution and Coevolution of Evaluation Functions
Eli David, H. Jaap van den Herik, Moshe Koppel +1
This paper demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms for evolving a grandmaster-level evaluation function for a chess program. This is achieved by combining supervised and unsuper…
New bounds for truthful scheduling on two unrelated selfish machines
Olga Kuryatnikova, Juan C. Vera
We consider the minimum makespan problem for tasks and two unrelated parallel selfish machines. Let be the best approximation ratio of randomized monotone scale-free algo…
Estimating the maximum possible earthquake magnitude using extreme value methodology: the Groningen case
Jan Beirlant, Andrzej Kijko, Tom Reynkens +1
The area-characteristic, maximum possible earthquake magnitude is required by the earthquake engineering community, disaster management agencies and the insurance industry. T…
