Many learning tasks involve searching through a discrete space of performance elements, seeking an element whose future utility is expected to be high. As the task of nding the global optimum is often intractable, many practical learning systems use simple forms of hill-climbing to nd a locally optimal element. However, hill-climbing can be complicated by the fact that the utility value of a pe...

In all its forms cancer is inevitably an unpleasant affl iction that harms every aspect of the lives of sufferers and those who love them. Jim and I want this journ...
