In this paper we improve the quality of a recently suggested class of construction heuristics for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP), namely the Contract-or-Patch heu...
The choice of a good annealing schedule is necessary for good performance of simulated annealing for combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we pose the simulated anne...
In this paper, we describe a search procedure for statistical machine translation (MT) based on dynmnic programming (DP). Starting from a DP-based solution to the traveling salesm...
When applying the 2-opt heuristic to the travelling salesman problem, selecting the best improvement at each iteration gives worse results on average than selecting the first impr...
This paper explores a novel setting for compressed sensing (CS) in which the sampling trajectory length is a critical bottleneck and must be minimized subject to constraints on th...
