Hybrid Graph Heuristics within a Hyper-heuristic Approach to Exam Timetabling Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper is concerned with the hybridization of two graph coloring heuristics (Saturation Degree and Largest Degree), and their application within a hyperheuristic for exam timetabling problems.

Machine Learning-Driven Tri-Level Hyper-Heuristic Selection With Adaptive Move Acceptance for Composing Medical Crew Scheduling Problem

open access: yesIEEE Access
Driven by the growing demand for adaptive and automated search control in combinatorial optimization, hyper-heuristic frameworks have become an important approach for handling heterogeneous problem instances.

Towards the Design of Heuristics by Means of Self-Assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The current investigations on hyper-heuristics design have sprung up in two different flavours: heuristics that choose heuristics and heuristics that generate heuristics.

Accelerating MRI With Longitudinally‐Informed Latent Posterior Sampling

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To accelerate MRI acquisition by incorporating the previous scans of a subject during reconstruction. Although longitudinal imaging constitutes much of clinical MRI, leveraging previous scans is challenging due to the complex relationship between scan sessions, potentially involving substantial anatomical or pathological changes, and ...

Hyper Heuristic Memetic-Algorithm Based Optimization of Solar Photovoltaic Systems [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
For identifying maximum power tracking by using a solar PV system, a modified solar panel is designed with the support of reflector. Based on diameter and size, reflector is selected.

Reinforcement learning based local search for grouping problems: A case study on graph coloring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Grouping problems aim to partition a set of items into multiple mutually disjoint subsets according to some specific criterion and constraints. Grouping problems cover a large class of important combinatorial optimization problems that are generally ...

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Policy Capacity Under Decentralization: Kindergarten Education Reforms in the Philippines

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines the relationship between policy capacity and policy effectiveness in decentralized governance setups. It challenges the conventional view that policy functions should only be decentralized when requisite capacities already exist at lower levels of government. Instead, the paper proposes that capacity can follow function ‐ as
