Stochastic barycenters and beta distribution for Gaussian particle swarms
Rui Mendes,James Kennedy +1 more
TL;DR: This paper explores a model where a Gaussian sample is taken, with the mean of the distribution varying randomly within some bounds, in particular, these experiments use either a stochastic barycenter or a beta distribution to define themean of theGaussian sample.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A platform for the selection of genes in DNA microarraydata using evolutionary algorithms
TL;DR: This paper presents a flexible framework to the task of featureselection in classification of DNA microarray data, where Evolutionary Algorithms, with variable sized set based representations are used to reduce the number of attributes.
Book ChapterDOI
Differential Evolution for the Offline and Online Optimization of Fed-Batch Fermentation Processes
TL;DR: In this chapter, Differential Evolution (DE) is proposed to tackle the optimization of input variables in fed-batch fermentations and quite promising results are shown.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Data-Driven Approaches for Mobile Marketing User Conversion Prediction
TL;DR: An exploratory study of user Conversion Rate (CVR) prediction using recent big data from a global mobile marketing company and a stream processing engine to collect sampled mobile marketing data shows a potential value for user CVR prediction in this domain.

Categorical Attribute traNsformation Environment (CANE): A python module for categorical to numeric data preprocessing
Luís Miguel Matos,João Rolando Azevedo,Arthur Matta,André Luiz Pilastri,Paulo Cortez,Rui Mendes +5 more
TL;DR: CANE as mentioned in this paper is a simple and powerful data categorical preprocessing Python package that offers three categorical to numeric transformation methods, namely: Percentage Categorical Pruned (PCP), Inverse Document Frequency (IDF), and a simpler One-Hot-Encoding method.
