— Recent large scale experiments have shown that the Normalized Information Distance, an algorithmic information measure, is among the best similarity metrics for melody classiď¬...
Abstract— We present a novel algorithm for the onedimension offline bin packing problem with discrete item sizes based on the notion of matching the item-size histogram with the...
— Hyper-heuristics or “heuristics that coordinate heuristics” are fastly becoming popular for solving combinatorial optimisation problems. These methods do not search directl...
Abstract— This paper presents a comparison of four bioinspired algorithms (all seen as search engines) with a similar constraint-handling mechanism (Deb’s feasibility rules) to...
— We present an ant-based algorithm for spatially sorting objects into an annular structure. The model is minimal, as it requires only stochastic ant behaviour coupled with a phe...
