We had our first taste of the problem with mean-variance optimization at a hedge fund some years back. We loaded the positions into an optimizer, pressed the button, and discovered 25% of the ...
In space engineering, electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...
where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...
Electrical distribution systems are characterized by dynamic operating conditions and complex network topologies, which pose ...
Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, evolutionary algorithms for training huge neural networks could become a very important and ...
It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
In large retail operations, category management teams spend significant time deciding which product goes onto which shelf and ...
Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses full code samples to detail an evolutionary algorithm technique that apparently hasn't been published before. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...
