The reward functions that drive reinforcement learning systems are generally derived directly from the descriptions of the problems that the systems are being used to solve. In so...
Over the past few years, several local search algorithms have been proposed for various problems related to multicast routing in the off-line mode. We describe a population-based ...

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is known as a potent multiobjective optimization method, and the effectiveness of hybridizing it with local search (LS) has recently been reported in the li...
A significant challenge in genetic programming is premature convergence to local optima, which often prevents evolution from solving problems. This paper introduces to genetic pro...
