Saclay (unfortunately)

something rotten in Inria-Saclay ? Publications:

video sur UCT/MCTS en francais (seminaire Le Modele et L'algorithme, Inria)
my publications
my publications in HAL format (more difficult to read in my humble opinion)
I maintain popularization papers here. This is made both for scientists interested in having a first idea of my research, and for all people willing to have more information. The pages dedicated to research are here and a complete list is here. L'Inria, le CNRS et l'universite n'ont aucune responsabilite quant a ce site exterieur.

Downloads:

gsll/gslp: two open source programs (with libsvm/liblinear compliant formats) for linear regression (added June 2009).
librks: an open source program (with gsll/libsvm/liblinear compliant formats) for random kitchen sinks (added June 2009).

Scientific claims:

(randomized) quasi-random works for (i) integration (ii) active learning (iii) optimization (iv) robust optimization (v) discrete sampling (vi) covariance matrix adaptation
high dimensional comparison-based optimization is slow
choose mu=lambda/2 for increasing the convergence rate in ES in many cases (algorithms which do not use the complete algorithms); but for lambda large and for many classical algorithms mu = dimension is good.
the population size should increase logarithmically with the number of iterations in evolution strategies
highly multi-objective comparison-based optimization is very very slow
comparison-based optimization is robust
UCB1 works for (i) computer-go but only if your formula is not very well optimized (in that case there's much better) (ii) optimization
randomness is necessary in (i) robust optimization and (ii) active learning
genetic programming works and requires bloat penalization
NFL-theorems are false in continuous domains

A titre personnel, n'engageant pas le Lri, l'Inria ou le Cnrs, je maintiens divers sites dont celui-ci , celui-ci et celui-la, ainsi que les blogs-pages qui suivent:
