Latency-Aware 2-Opt Monotonic Local Search for Distributed Constraint Optimization [PDF]

open access: green
Researchers recently extended Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) to Communication-Aware DCOPs so that they are applicable in scenarios in which messages can be arbitrarily delayed. Distributed asynchronous local search and inference algorithms designed for CA-DCOPs are less vulnerable to message latency than their counterparts for ...

Smoothed Approximation Ratio of the 2-Opt Heuristic for the TSP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The 2-Opt heuristic is a simple, easy-to-implement local search heuristic for the traveling salesman problem. While it usually provides good approximations to the optimal tour in experiments, its worst-case performance is poor. In an attempt to explain the approximation performance of 2-Opt, we prove an upper bound of exp(O(sqrt(log(1/sigma))) for the ...

Learning 2-opt Local Search from Heuristics as Expert Demonstrations [PDF]

open access: yes2021 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2021
Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved high success in solving routing problems. However, state-of-the-art deep RL approaches require a considerable amount of data before they reach reasonable performance. This may be acceptable for small problems, but as instances grow bigger, this fact severely limits the applicability of these methods to many

An Application of the Multi-Level Heuristic for the Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Multi-Level heuristic is used to investigate the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem (HFVRP). The initial solution for the Multi-Level heuristic is obtained by Dijkstra's algorithm based on a cost network constructed by the sweep algorithm ...

Improving EAX with restricted 2-opt [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 7th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, 2005
Edge Assembly Crossover (EAX) is by far the most successful crossover operator in solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP) with Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Various improvements have been proposed for EAX in GA. However, some of the improvements have to make compromises between performance and solution quality.

Estimating Above-Ground Biomass of Potato Using Random Forest and Optimized Hyperspectral Indices

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Spectral indices rarely show consistency in estimating crop traits across growth stages; thus, it is critical to simultaneously evaluate a group of spectral variables and select the most informative spectral indices for retrieving crop traits.

The effects of default nudges on promoting approval of welfare cuts: An exploration during COVID-19

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created significant financial and operational challenges for some businesses. As a result, temporary welfare benefit reduction may be a tough but future-oriented choice for both employers and employees.

Inclusion of residual tissue in biobanks: opt-in or opt-out? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2012
Residual samples are an important source of tissue for biobanks. They refer to leftover tissue that is obtained in the course of clinical care. Residual samples can be included through an opt-in method--that is, a person explicitly expresses consent to ...

Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin-Based Helichrysum italicum Extracts: Antioxidant and Cosmeceutical Activity and Biocompatibility

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Two Helichrysum italicum extracts, OPT-1 (rich in phenolic acids) and OPT-2 (rich in total phenols and flavonoids), were prepared using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD)-assisted extraction.
