Click shaping to optimize multiple objectives [PDF]
Recommending interesting content to engage users is important for web portals (e.g. AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, and many others). Existing approaches typically recommend articles to optimize for a single objective, i.e., number of clicks. However a click is only the starting point of a user's journey and subsequent downstream utilities such as time-spent and ...

Understanding and modelling the ambiguous impact of off-farm income on tropical deforestation
Few land-allocation models consider the impact of off-farm income on tropical deforestation. We provide a concept to integrate off-farm income in a mechanistic multiple-objective land-allocation model, while distinguishing between farms with and without ...

Multi-Swarm Optimization for Extracting Multiple-Choice Tests From Question Banks
In this study, a novel method for generating multiple-choice tests is presented, which extracts the required number of tests of the same levels of difficulty in a single attempt and approximates the difficulty level requirement given by users. We propose

Development of Multiple Behaviors in Evolving Robots
We investigate whether standard evolutionary robotics methods can be extended to support the evolution of multiple behaviors by forcing the retention of variations that are adaptive with respect to all required behaviors.

Novel PIO Algorithm with Multiple Selection Strategies for Many-Objective Optimization Problems
With the increase of problem dimensions, most solutions of existing many-objective optimization algorithms are non-dominant. Therefore, the selection of individuals and the retention of elite individuals are important.
