This paper extends the analogies employed in the development of quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms by proposing quantum-inspired Hadamard walks, called QHW. A novel quantum-...
Niching is an important technique for multimodal optimization. Most existing niching methods require specification of certain niching parameters in order to perform well. These nic...
Information Retrieval on the WWW is important because it is hard to find what one is looking for. There is a plethora of information available, and searching relevant information ...

Although each iteration of the popular kMeans clustering heuristic scales well to larger problem sizes, it often requires an unacceptably-high number of iterations to converge to ...
— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
