In this paper we explain an estimation function for the crew scheduling problem in the coach transportation domain. Thanks to this function we obtain an estimation that is very clo...
The crew planning problem has been successfully solved on a loosely connected network of workstations (NOW) using advanced computational techniques and efficient communication pat...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
In high-level synthesis, accurate lower-bound estimation is helpful to explore the search space efficiently and to evaluate the quality of heuristic algorithms. For the lower-bound...
Reinforcement learning problems are commonly tackled with temporal difference methods, which attempt to estimate the agent's optimal value function. In most real-world proble...
