Differential evolution for discrete optimization: An experimental study on Combinatorial Auction problems
: Differential evolutionary (DE) mutates solution vectors by the weighted difference of other vectors using arithmetic operations. As these operations cannot be directly extended t...

Gradient descent optimization of smoothed information retrieval metrics
Abstract Most ranking algorithms are based on the optimization of some loss functions, such as the pairwise loss. However, these loss functions are often different from the criter...
