For the last ten years a lot of work has been devoted to propositionalization techniques in relational learning. These techniques change the representation of relational problems t...
In a multimodal optimization task, the main purpose is to find multiple optimal solutions (global and local), so that the user can have a better knowledge about different optima...
In this paper we apply a heuristic method based on artificial neural networks (NN) in order to trace out the efficient frontier associated to the portfolio selection problem. We...
In this paper, we consider the possibility of altering the PageRank of web pages, from an administrator's point of view, through the modification of the PageRank equation. It...
IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
