Global optimization problems where evaluation of the objective function is an expensive operation arise frequently in engineering, machine learning, decision making, statistics, optimal control, etc.

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

Experts say ABC represents a major step forward in bio-inspired computing. By replicating the collective intelligence and adaptive strategies of honey bees, the algorithm provides a flexible, ...

A team of researchers from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, led by Dr Augustina Dede Agor, has completed one of the most detailed global reviews to date on the integration of artificial ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
