Abstract. In developing algorithms that dynamically changes the structure and weights of ANN (Artificial Neural Networks), there must be a proper balance between network complexit...
† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
