Beam search heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and quadratic tardiness costs [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the single machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and quadratic tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. We present heuristic algorithms based on the beam search technique.

The power of reordering for online minimum makespan scheduling [PDF]
, 2014 In the classic minimum makespan scheduling problem, we are given an input sequence of jobs with processing times. A scheduling algorithm has to assign the jobs to m parallel machines.

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the “digital turn” in value chain due diligence, focusing on how emerging digital tools and technologies are reshaping the practice and politics of stakeholder engagement in transnational labor governance. As value chain legislation—most notably the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)—extends ...

Order acceptance and scheduling in a single-machine environment: exact and heuristic algorithms. [PDF]
In this paper, we develop exact and heuristic algorithms for the order acceptance and scheduling problem in a single-machine environment. We consider the case where a pool consisting of firm planned orders as well as potential orders is available from ...

The law of AI knowledge distillation
American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Knowledge distillation—the practice of training a compact student model on the outputs of a larger teacher model—has emerged as the fastest‐growing technique for replicating and disseminating frontier artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue We investigate whether a quasi‐official minority shareholder, the China Securities Investor Services Center (CSISC), affects firms' investor relations management when it actively exercises its shareholder rights in listed firms. Research Findings/Insights We employ a machine learning–based algorithm to estimate response

Machine Scheduling with Resource Dependent Processing Times [PDF]
We consider several parallel machine scheduling settings with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. The most general of these settings is unrelated parallel machine scheduling.

Choosing Startup Investors: Does Gender Matter?
Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate whether startups respond differently to male and female investors during outbound origination, a setting where female investors often report being marginalized by male founders. Using a randomized field experiment, we examine gender differences in startups' responses to investor outreach.

Beam search heuristics for quadratic earliness and tardiness scheduling [PDF]
In this paper, we present beam search heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. These heuristics include classic beam search procedures, as well as filtered and recovering
