This paper presents The following Applications of Optimal adaptation hypothesis to solve some of the standard problems of optimal adaptation This method random select some nodes in the interval of integration in the beginning. The number of object parameters as well as the number of associated Evolution Strategies parameters can be adapted during the Optimal adaptation. This new method presents...

The ridge function class is a parameterised family of test functions that is often used to evaluate the capabilities and limitations of optimisation strategies. Past research with the goal of analytically determining the performance of evolution strategies on the ridge has focused either on the parabolic case or on simple one-parent strategies without step length adaptation. This paper extends ...

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) ideally allows for the delivery of the right information to the right student. Strategies for adaptation can be described via the LAG language. The PEAL tool offers many common programming environment features to ease development in LAG but authoring adaptation strategies is still considered timeconsuming and difficult, especially for the inexperienced auth...

Recently, a growing body of research targets authoring of content and adaptation strategies for adaptive systems. The driving force behind it is semantics-based reuse: the same adaptation strategy can be used for various domains, and vice versa. E.g., a Java course can be taught via a strategy differentiating between beginner and advanced users, or between visual versus verbal users. Whilst usi...

Many stochastic search algorithms are designed to optimize a fixed objective function to learn a task, i.e., if the objective function changes slightly, for example, due to a change in the situation or context of the task, relearning is required to adapt to the new context. For instance, if we want to learn a kicking movement for a soccer robot, we have to relearn the movement for different bal...

An adaptive streaming framework consists of a video codec that can produce video encoded at a variety of rates, a transport protocol that supports an effective rate/ congestion control mechanism, and an adaptation strategy in order to match the video source rate to the available network throughput. The main parameters of the adaptation strategy are encoder configuration, video extraction method...

We present a simple game which mimics the complex dynamics found in many natural and social systems. Players modify their strategies periodically, depending on their performances. We propose that the agents use hybridized one-point genetic crossover mechanism, inspired by genetic evolution in biology, to modify the strategies and replace the bad strategies. We study the performances of the agen...
