In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...
Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
The paper discusses simple functional constraint networks and a value propagation method for program construction. Structural synthesis of programs is described as an example of d...
Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...
Many approaches to active learning involve periodically training one classifier and choosing data points with the lowest confidence. An alternative approach is to periodically cho...
