This paper presents a new optimization metaheuristic called ID Walk (Intensification/Diversification Walk) that offers advantages for combining simplicity with effectiveness. In ad...
We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, settings where agents are distributed and have privacy issues, or ...

In this paper, we present the application of evolutionary optimization methods to a demanding, industrially relevant engineering domain, the three-dimensional optimization of gas ...
An explicit exploration strategy is necessary in reinforcement learning (RL) to balance the need to reduce the uncertainty associated with the expected outcome of an action and the...
