We propose a framework which we call stochastic offline programming (SOP). The idea is to embed the development of combinatorial algorithms in an off-line learning environment whi...
: Phylogenetic search is a key tool used in a variety of biological research endeavors. However, this search problem is known to be computationally difficult, due to the astronomic...
In a geographical route search, given search terms, the goal is to find an effective route that (1) starts at a given location, (2) ends at a given location, and (3) travels via...
Abstract. Since minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is an NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, applying techniques from global optimization appears to be promising for r...
This paper presents a technique, called GENH, that automatically generates search heuristics for scheduling problems. The impetus for developing this technique is the growing cons...
