abstract = "We introduce a cross-validation algorithm called nPool
that can be applied in a distributed fashion. Unlike
classic k-fold cross-validation, the data segments are
mutually exclusive, and training takes place only on
one segment. This system is well suited to run in
concert with the EC-Star distributed Evolutionary
system, cross-validating solution candidates during a
run. The system is tested with different numbers of
validation segments using a real-world problem of
classifying ICU blood-pressure time series.",
