Abstract:
A Gene Expression Programming method evolves a population of chromosomes which are arrays of integer index references to genes including operand and operator genes. The mathematical expressions are encoded in the chromosomes according to linear Polish notation, according to which expression trees representing mathematical expression encoded in the chromosomes are developed in a depth-first manner from the sequence of genes in each chromosome. This type of Polish notation makes it more likely that sub-expressions that contribute to fitness will survive evolutionary operations which can be performed at a low computational cost on array chromosomes. Additionally subexpressions or the mathematical structure of subexpressions which are assumed to contribute significantly to fitness based on the frequency of their appearance in elite members are protected from alteration by evolutionary operations, by representing each such mathematical structure by a single derived gene while the evolutionary operations are performed.

A data management system (100) including a knowledge container creator module (118) operative to create at least a first data descriptor item (112) and at least a second data descriptor item (114) based upon a raw data item (110). The raw data item (110) is capable of containing data representing raw data that is in one of a plurality of different formats. The knowledge container creator module (118) also operative to link the raw data item (110) to at the least a first data descriptor item (112) and to link the raw data item (110) to the at least a second data descriptor item (114).
Abstract:
A Q-Filter is a reconfigurable technique that performs a continuum of linear and nonlinear filtering operations. It is modeled by unique mathematical structure, utilizing a function called the Q-Measure, defined using a set of adjustable kernel parameters to enable efficient hardware and software implementations of a variety of useful, new and conventional, filtering operations. The Q-Measure is based on an extension of the well-known Sugeno ?-Measure. In order to optimize the Q-Filter kernel parameters, the value of an error function is minimized. The error function is based on difference between the filtered signal and target signal, with the target signal being a desired result of filtering.
Abstract:
To address the need to convey ACK/NACK information in a manner that conserves system and signaling resources, embodiments of the present invention employ a Node-B transmitting on two types of ACK/NACK broadcast channels (501, 502), one type for received uplink data that was scheduled by the Node B and the other type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that was not scheduled by the Node B. Other embodiments of the invention employ a Node-B transmitting on two types of broadcast channels, one type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that comes from non-SHO users and another type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that comes from non-scheduled users or comes from scheduled SHO users. In addition, ACK/NACK information is scheduled (800) into the available broadcast channel time slots in accordance with a transmission priority that is determined by a scheduler.
Abstract:
A gene expression programming genetic algorithm for performing symbolic regression is provided. The algorithm avoids expression bloating and over fitting by employing a fitness function that depends inversely on the mathematical expression complexity. Members of a population that are evolved by the algorithm are represented as a set arrays of indexed that reference operands and operators, thus facilitating selection, mutation, and cross over operations conducted in the course of evolving the population. The algorithm comprises a syntax checking part [108, 110, 112] that may be applied to population members without their having to be converted to executable programs first. An object-oriented programming language data structure is providing for encapsulating basic data for each condon used by the algorithm.
