Abstract. Population size is a critical parameter that affects the performance of an Evolutionary Computation model. A variable population size scheme is considered potentially be...
The selection of the branching variable can greatly affect the speed of the branch and bound solution of a mixed-integer or integer linear program. Traditional approaches to branc...
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
Over-constrained problems can have an exponential number of conflicts, which explain the failure, and an exponential number of relaxations, which restore the consistency. A user o...
Output coding is a general method for solving multiclass problems by reducing them to multiple binary classification problems. Previous research on output coding has employed, alm...
