Is "best-so-far" a good algorithmic performance metric?
In evolutionary computation, experimental results are commonly analyzed using an algorithmic performance metric called best-so-far. While best-so-far can be a useful metric, its u...

Learning Markov Logic Networks Using Structural Motifs
Markov logic networks (MLNs) use firstorder formulas to define features of Markov networks. Current MLN structure learners can only learn short clauses (4-5 literals) due to extre...

Optimizing Discounted Cash Flows in Project Scheduling - An Ant Colony Optimization Approach
Abstract--The multimode resource-constrained projectscheduling problem with discounted cash flows (MRCPSPDCF) is important and challenging for project management. As the problem is...
