Abstract— In Evolutionary Robotics (ER), explicitly rewarding for behavioral diversity recently revealed to generate efficient results without recourse to complex fitness funct...
The resource-constrained elementary shortest path problem arises as a pricing subproblem in branch-and-price algorithms for vehicle routing problems with additional constraints. W...
Violations of functional dependencies (FDs) are common in practice, often arising in the context of data integration or Web data extraction. Resolving these violations is known to...
Mathematical modeling for gene regulative networks (GRNs) provides an effective tool for hypothesis testing in biology. A necessary step in setting up such models is the estimati...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
