This paper presents a line of research in genetic algorithms (GAs), called building-block identification. The building blocks (BBs) are common structures inferred from a set of sol...
Typically, Markov decision problems (MDPs) assume a single action is executed per decision epoch, but in the real world one may frequently execute certain actions in parallel. Thi...
Parasitic extraction techniques are used to estimate signal delay in VLSI chips. Inductance extraction is a critical component of the parasitic extraction process in which on-chip ...
In a principal-agent problem, a principal seeks to motivate an agent to take a certain action beneficial to the principal, while spending as little as possible on the reward. This...
This paper uses an entertaining student "sports" game to illustrate that GAs can be adapted to problems with uncertain properties and complexity. These problems can be s...
