Journal ArticleDOI
A learning algorithm for boltzmann machines
TL;DR: A general parallel search method is described, based on statistical mechanics, and it is shown how it leads to a general learning rule for modifying the connection strengths so as to incorporate knowledge about a task domain in an efficient way.
Book
A Connectionist Machine for Genetic Hillclimbing
TL;DR: This dissertation focuses on the development of a heuristic search algorithm that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging discrete-time components of a genealogy tree.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Building diverse computer systems
TL;DR: Several methods of achieving software diversity are discussed based on randomizations that respect the specified behavior of the program, which could potentially increase the robustness of software systems with minimal impact on convenience, usability, and efficiency.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
