An Algorithm for Reconstructing the Orphan Stream Progenitor with MilkyWay@home Volunteer Computing
Siddhartha Shelton, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jake Weiss +16
We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In pa…
Continuous Ant-Based Neural Topology Search
AbdElRahman ElSaid, Joshua Karns, Zimeng Lyu +2
This work introduces a novel, nature-inspired neural architecture search (NAS) algorithm based on ant colony optimization, Continuous Ant-based Neural Topology Search (CANTS), whic…
An Experimental Study of Weight Initialization and Weight Inheritance Effects on Neuroevolution
Zimeng Lyu, AbdElRahman ElSaid, Joshua Karns +2
Weight initialization is critical in being able to successfully train artificial neural networks (ANNs), and even more so for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) which can easily suff…
MaintNet: A Collaborative Open-Source Library for Predictive Maintenance Language Resources
Farhad Akhbardeh, Travis Desell, Marcos Zampieri
Maintenance record logbooks are an emerging text type in NLP. They typically consist of free text documents with many domain specific technical terms, abbreviations, as well as non…
Improving Neuroevolution Using Island Extinction and Repopulation
Zimeng Lyu, Joshua Karns, AbdElRahman ElSaid +1
Neuroevolution commonly uses speciation strategies to better explore the search space of neural network architectures. One such speciation strategy is through the use of islands, w…
Improving the Decision-Making Process of Self-Adaptive Systems by Accounting for Tactic Volatility
Jeffrey Palmerino, Qi Yu, Travis Desell +1
When self-adaptive systems encounter changes within their surrounding environments, they enact tactics to perform necessary adaptations. For example, a self-adaptive cloud-based sy…
