Traditionally, optimizers are “programmed” to optimize queries following a set of buildin procedures. However, optimizers should be robust to its changing environment to gener...
This paper reports about the application of a new variant of multiobjective Mixed-Integer Evolution Strategy to a warehouse design optimization problem. The algorithm is able to d...
The linear model with sparsity-favouring prior on the coefficients has important applications in many different domains. In machine learning, most methods to date search for maxim...
