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...
The best performing algorithms for a particular oversubscribed scheduling application, Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) scheduling, appear to have little in common. Yet...

This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Abstract--The multimode resource-constrained projectscheduling problem with discounted cash flows (MRCPSPDCF) is important and challenging for project management. As the problem is...
