The Karmarkar-Karp differencing algorithm is the best known polynomial time heuristic for the number partitioning problem, fundamental in both theoretical computer science and stat...
This paper presents a predictable and grouped genetic algorithm (PGGA) for job scheduling. The novelty of the PGGA is twofold: (1) a job workload estimati...
A new family of boosting algorithms, denoted TaylorBoost, is proposed. It supports any combination of loss function and first or second order optimization, and includes classical...

We describe algorithms to explore the space of all possible reconciliations between a gene tree and a species tree. We propose an algorithm for generating a random reconciliation, ...
