DCoL: New release v1.1

A new version of the data complexity library (DCoL) in C++ is available at http://dcol.sourceforge.net/.
DCoL provides the implementation of a set of measures designed to characterize the apparent complexity of data sets for supervised learning, which were originally proposed by Ho and Basu (2002). More specifically, the implemented measures focus on the complexity of the [...] Continue reading

Meandre 2.0 Alpha Preview = Scala + MongoDB

A lot of water under the bridge has gone by since the first release of Meandre 1.4.X series. In January I went back to the drawing board and start sketching what was going to be 1.5.X series. The slide deck embedded above is a extended list of the thoughts during the process. As usual, I [...]

IWLCS 2010 – Discussion session on LCS / XCS(F)

I just got an email from Martin Butz about a discussion session being planned for IWLCS 2010 and his request to pass it along. Hope all is well and you are going to attend GECCO this year. Regardless if you attend or not: Jaume asked me to lead a discussion session on “LCS representations, operators, [...]

GAssist and GALE Now Available in Python

Ryan Urbanowicz has released Python versions of GAssits and GALE!!! Yup, so excited to see a new incarnation of GALE doing the rounds. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Ryan has also done an excellent job porting UCS, XCS, and MCS to Python and making those implementations available via “LCS & GBML central” for [...]

LCS & GBML Central Gets a New Home

Today I finished migrating the LCS & GBML Central site from its original URL (http://lcs-gbml.ncsa.uiuc.edu) to a more permanent and stable home located at http://gbml.org. The original site is already currently redirecting the trafic to the new site, and it will be doing so for a while to help people transition and update bookmarks and [...]
