Algorithm portfolios seek to determine an effective set of algorithms that can be used within an algorithm selection framework to solve problems. A limited number of these portfolio studies focus on generating different versions of a target algorithm using different parameter configurations. In this paper, we employ a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to determine a promising range of values for each parameter of an algorithm. These ranges are further processed to determine a portfolio of parameter configurations, which would be used within two online Algorithm Selection approaches for solving different instances of a given combinatorial optimization problem effectively. We …

Online portfolio selection (PS) has been extensively studied in artificial intelligence and machine learning communities in recent years. An important practical issue of online PS is transaction cost, which is unavoidable and nontrivial in real financial trading markets. Most existing strategies, such as universal portfolio (UP) based strategies, often rebalance their target portfolio vectors at every investment period, and thus the total transaction cost increases rapidly and the final cumulative wealth degrades severely. To overcome the limitation, in this paper we investigate new investment strategies that rebalances its portfolio only at some selected instants. Specifically, we design a novel on-line …

Bug fixing is one of the most time-consuming and costly activities of the software development life cycle. In general, bugs are reported in a bug tracking system, validated by a triage team, assigned for someone to fix, and finally verified and closed. However, in some cases bugs have to be reopened. Reopened bugs increase software maintenance cost, cause rework for already busy developers and in some cases even delay the future delivery of a software release. Therefore, a few recent studies focused on studying reopened bugs. However, these prior studies did not achieve high performance (in terms of precision and …
