Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
Abstract-- The RNA secondary structure design (SSD) problem is a recently emerging research topic motivated by applications such as customized drug design and the self-assembly of ...
We describe a new approximation algorithm for solving partially observable MDPs. Our bounded policy iteration approach searches through the space of bounded-size, stochastic fini...
Memetic algorithms with continuous local search methods have arisen as effective tools to address the difficulty of obtaining reliable solutions of high precision for complex cont...
