Generating robust algorithms for energy efficient lighting as a performance aspect of the building operational energy optimisation framework
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)This paper presents a part of the ongoing research in the nZEB-Retrofit project in the National University of Ireland, Galway. This research aims to optimise residential building performance by enhancing the key performance ... -
A genetic algorithm with a multi-layered genotype-phenotype mapping
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2010-08-24)In this paper we investigate the introduction of a multiple-layer genotype-phenotype mapping to a Genetic Algorithm (GA) which attempts to mimic more closely, the effects of nature. The motivation for introducing multiple-layers ... -
The Genetic Evolution of Kernels for Support Vector Machine Classifiers
(2004)Abstract. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) has emerged in recent years as a popular approach to the classi¿cation of data. One problem that faces the user of an SVM is how to choose a kernel and the speci¿c parameters for ... -
Getting more from your datasets: Data augmentation, annotation and generative techniques
(XPERI Inc., 2018-05-18)Deep Learning for embedded vision requires large datasets. Indeed the more varied training data is, the more accurate the trained network. But, acquiring and accurately annotating datasets costs time and money. This talk ... -
