Heuristic generation via parameter tuning for online bin packing [PDF]

, 2014
Online bin packing requires immediate decisions to be made for placing an incoming item one at a time into bins of fixed capacity without causing any overflow. The goal is to maximise the average bin fullness after placement of a long stream of items.

Hyper-Heuristic Approach for Improving Marker Efficiency [PDF]

Autex Research Journal, 2018
Abstract Marker planning is an optimization arrangement problem, where a set of cutting parts need to be placed on a thin paper without overlapping to create a marker – an exact diagram of cutting parts that will be cut from a single spread. An optimal marker that utilizes the length of textile material has to be obtained.

Fragment‐Block: A Novel Approach for Managing Variability in Software Product Lines

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Changes in the functionality of a software product line (SPL) can generate various issues in the SPL source code. Their complexity depends primarily on the amount of changes in the SPL source code and the internal mechanisms for managing variability. Further, modern development frameworks rely on a variety of artefacts besides source

Freedom of Scientific Inquiry and Democracy. A Systems‐Theoretical Approach

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The article examines the relationship between democracy and one of its inherent features: freedom of scientific inquiry—a multi‐layered concept closely intertwined with the broader notion of academic freedom—both of which are increasingly under threat worldwide. The paper advocates for the use of Luhmann's theoretical framework to analyse this

Fuzzy adaptive parameter control of a late acceptance hyper-heuristic [PDF]

, 2014
A traditional iterative selection hyper-heuristic which manages a set of low level heuristics relies on two core components, a method for selecting a heuristic to apply at a given point, and a method to decide whether or not to accept the result of the ...

Scheduling the Australian football league [PDF]

, 2017
Generating a schedule for a professional sports league is an extremely demanding task. Good schedules have many benefits for the league, such as higher attendance and TV viewership, lower costs, and increased fairness.

A Universal Meta‐Heuristic Framework for Influence Maximisation in Hypergraphs

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Influence maximisation (IM) aims to select a small number of nodes that are able to maximise their influence in a network and covers a wide range of applications. Despite numerous attempts to provide effective solutions in simple networks, higher‐order interactions between entities in various real‐world systems are usually not taken into ...

Generating Compressed Counterfactual Hard Negative Samples for Graph Contrastive Learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graph contrastive learning (GCL) relies on acquiring high‐quality positive and negative samples to learn the structural semantics of the input graph. Previous approaches typically sampled negative samples from the same training batch or an irrelevant external graph.

Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems: Are Hyper-Heuristics a Feasible Approach When Dealing With the Pod Allocation and Item Storage Problems?

IEEE Access
The rise of online shopping has forced warehouses to improve their operations to keep up with demand. In this work, we focus on a warehouse type known as the Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System (RMFS).

An iterated multi-stage selection hyper-heuristic [PDF]

, 2015
There is a growing interest towards the design of reusable general purpose search methods that are applicable to different problems instead of tailored solutions to a single particular problem. Hyper-heuristics have emerged as such high level methods that
