Solving the MAXSAT problem using a multivariate EDA based on Markov networks
Markov Networks (also known as Markov Random Fields) have been proposed as a new approach to probabilistic modelling in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). An EDA employ...

Why one must use reweighting in estimation of distribution algorithms
We study the update of the distribution in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, and show that a simple modification leads to unbiased estimates of the optimum. The simple modi...
