This is a comprehensive review of the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) metaheuristic and its hybridization with Path Relinking (PR) over the past two decades. GRASP with PR has become a widely adopted approach for solving…
Several modern applications involve huge graphs and require fast answers to reachability queries. In more than two decades since first proposals, several approaches have been presented adopting on-line searches, hop labelling or transitive…
Randomized greedy algorithms form one of the simplest yet most effective approaches for computing approximate matchings in graphs. In this paper, we focus on the class of vertex-iterative (VI) randomized greedy matching algorithms, which…
Agentic retrieval improves multi-hop question answering by giving language models autonomy to iteratively gather evidence. Recent work augments these systems with knowledge graphs for structured traversal, but this combination introduces…
Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) focuses on planning collision-free paths for multiple agents. However, during the execution of a MAPF plan, agents may encounter unexpected delays, which can lead to inefficiencies, deadlocks, or even…
This paper considers the problem of scheduling a single batch processing machine such that the total number of tardy jobs is minimized. The machine can simultaneously process several jobs as a batch as long as the machine capacity is not…
In this article, we present the anytime tree search algorithm we designed for the 2018 ROADEF/EURO challenge glass cutting problem proposed by the French company Saint-Gobain. The resulting program was ranked first among 64 participants.…
We study the problem that requires a team of robots to perform joint localization and target tracking task while ensuring team connectivity and collision avoidance. The problem can be formalized as a nonlinear, non-convex optimization…
We present a novel trajectory traversability estimation and planning algorithm for robot navigation in complex outdoor environments. We incorporate multimodal sensory inputs from an RGB camera, 3D LiDAR, and the robot's odometry sensor to…
We present a novel geographical routing scheme for spontaneous wireless mesh networks. Greedy geographical routing has many advantages, but suffers from packet losses occurring at the border of voids. In this paper, we propose a flexible…
Motivated by sequential budgeted allocation problems, we investigate online matching problems where connections between vertices are not i.i.d., but they have fixed degree distributions -- the so-called configuration model. We estimate the…
Facility location problems (FLPs) are a family of optimisation problems with significant social impact. This class of problems has been the subject of study since the 1960s, with classical approaches including the Weber problem and the…
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most famous optimization problems. Greedy crossover designed by Greffenstette et al, can be used while Symmetric TSP (STSP) is resolved by Genetic Algorithm (GA). Researchers have proposed…
Sparsity-constrained optimization has wide applicability in machine learning, statistics, and signal processing problems such as feature selection and compressive Sensing. A vast body of work has studied the sparsity-constrained…
There has been an increasing interest in methods that exploit permutation reasoning to search for directed acyclic causal models, including the "Ordering Search" of Teyssier and Kohler and GSP of Solus, Wang and Uhler. We extend the methods…
Grid superscheduling requires support for efficient and scalable discovery of resources. Resource discovery activities involve searching for the appropriate resource types that match the user's job requirements. To accomplish this goal, a…
Parallel aggregation is a ubiquitous operation in data analytics that is expressed as GROUP BY in SQL, reduce in Hadoop, or segment in TensorFlow. Parallel aggregation starts with an optional local pre-aggregation step and then repartitions…
We study the problem of sampling and reconstructing spectrally sparse graph signals where the objective is to select a subset of nodes of prespecified cardinality that ensures interpolation of the original signal with the lowest possible…
Randomized Greedy Algorithms (RGAs) are interesting approaches to solve problems whose structures are not well understood as well as problems in combinatorial optimization which incorporate the random processes and the greedy algorithms.…
