New lower bounds for 15 classical Ramsey numbers are established. Several of the colorings are found using a new variation of local search heuristics. Several others are found usi...
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...
— We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality in fitness landscape....
The development of successful metaheuristic algorithms such as local search for a difficult problems such as satisfiability testing (SAT) is a challenging task. We investigate an ...
Mixtures of Gaussians are among the most fundamental and widely used statistical models. Current techniques for learning such mixtures from data are local search heuristics with w...
Satisfiability testing (SAT) is a very active area of research today, with numerous real-world applications. We describe CLASS2.0, a genetic programming system for semi-automatica...
In this paper, we define a network service provider game. We show that the price of anarchy of the defined game can be bounded by analyzing a local search heuristic for a related...
