Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...
Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume sim...
— Despite their success as optimization methods, evolutionary algorithms face many difficulties to design artifacts with complex structures. According to paleontologists, living...
Abstract. Bilevel optimization problems require every feasible upperlevel solution to satisfy optimality of a lower-level optimization problem. These problems commonly appear in ma...
est case using an abstraction hierarchy in problem-solving can yield an exponential speed-up in search e ciency. Such a speed-up is predicted by various analytical models develope...
