The building blocks are common structures of high-quality solutions. Genetic algorithms often assume the building-block hypothesis. It is hypothesized that the high-quality solutio...
: Two strategies for information exchange between processors in parallel ant colony algorithm are presented. Theses strategies can make each processor choose other processors to co...
This paper merges hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) with ant colony optimization (ACO) to produce a HRL ACO algorithm capable of generating solutions for large domains. Th...
Simulated annealing has been one of the most popular stochastic optimization methods used in the VLSI CAD field in the past two decades for handling NP-hard optimization problems...
