Grid search and manual search are the most widely used strategies for hyper-parameter optimization. This paper shows empirically and theoretically that randomly chosen trials are ...
Flooding and random walk (RW) are the two typical search algorithms in unstructured peer-to-peer networks. The flooding algorithm searches the network aggressively. It covers the m...
A randomized algorithm with stream splitting for design of heat exchanger networks is presented in this work. The algorithm has provisions for splitting any one of the process str...
We study the minimum s-t-cut problem in graphs with costs on the edges in the context of evolutionary algorithms. Minimum cut problems belong to the class of basic network optimiz...
In this paper, tabu search for SAT is investigated from an experimental point of view. To this end, TSAT, a basic tabu search algorithm for SAT, is introduced and compared with Se...
