This is a modern implementation of the Hybrid Genetic Search (HGS) with Advanced Diversity Control of [1], specialized to the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). This algorithm has been ...

Abstract: The edit distance (also known as Levenshtein distance) of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions of characters needed to transform one string into the ...

Abstract: Niching techniques have recently been incorporated into evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for multisolution optimization in multimodal landscape. However, existing niching techniques inevitably ...

SINGAPORE – The time taken for a total knee replacement procedure could be cut by half, thanks to new technology developed by Alexandra Hospital. An artificial intelligence (AI)-powered algorithm is ...

Three books explore the promise and peril of artificial intelligence. A metronome ticks. A record spins. And as a feel-good pop track plays, a giant compactor slowly crushes a Jenga tower of material ...

Edit distance—a classical problem in computer science—has received ongoing attention from both practitioners and theoreticians. Given two strings A and B, the edit distance is the minimum number of ...

Machine learning and deep learning have been widely embraced, and even more widely misunderstood. In this article, I’ll step back and explain both machine learning and deep learning in basic terms, ...

The puzzling behavior of black hole interiors has led researchers to propose a new physical law: the second law of quantum complexity. Heat death held a morbid fascination for Victorian-era physicists ...
