Given a sparse undirected graph G with weights on the edges, a k-plex partition of G is a partition of its set of nodes such that each component is a k-plex. A subset of nodes S is a k-plex if the degree of every node in the associated…

We propose a hybrid heuristic algorithm for solving the Heaviest k-Subgraph Problem in online social networks -- a combinatorial graph optimization problem central to many important applications in weighted social networks, including…

The maximum k-plex problem is a computationally complex problem, which emerged from graph-theoretic social network studies. This paper presents an effective hybrid local search for solving the maximum k-plex problem that combines the…

In a bipartite graph, a subgraph is an $s$-biplex if each vertex of the subgraph is adjacent to all but at most $s$ vertices on the opposite set. The enumeration of $s$-biplexes from a given graph is a fundamental problem in bipartite graph…

In this paper we describe an extension of the Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) which integrates the basic VNS with other complementary approaches from machine learning, statistics and experimental algorithmic, in order to produce…

Enumerating maximal $k$-biplexes (MBPs) of a bipartite graph has been used for applications such as fraud detection. Nevertheless, there usually exists an exponential number of MBPs, which brings up two issues when enumerating MBPs, namely…

Approximate $k$-nearest neighbor search (A$k$-NNS) is a core operation in vector databases, underpinning applications such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and image retrieval. In these scenarios, users often prefer diverse result…

The main goal of the multitasking optimization paradigm is to solve multiple and concurrent optimization tasks in a simultaneous way through a single search process. For attaining promising results, potential complementarities and synergies…

This paper presents a variable neighborhood search (VNS) algorithm for solving bandwidth coloring problem (BCP) and bandwidth multicoloring problem (BMCP). BCP and BMCP are generalizations of the well known vertex coloring problem and they…

Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a metaheuristic for solving optimization problems based on a simple principle: systematic changes of neighborhoods within the search, both in the descent to local minima and in the escape from the…

In this paper, a novel framework of sparse kernel learning for Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) based anomaly detection is presented. In this work, optimal sparse feature selection for anomaly detection is first modeled as a Mixed…

Low-precision networks, with weights and activations quantized to low bit-width, are widely used to accelerate inference on edge devices. However, current solutions are uniform, using identical bit-width for all filters. This fails to…

Densest Subgraph Problem (DSP) is an important primitive problem with a wide range of applications, including fraud detection, community detection and DNA motif discovery. Edge-based density is one of the most common metrics in DSP.…

We propose a simple, powerful, and flexible machine learning framework for (i) reducing the search space of computationally difficult enumeration variants of subset problems and (ii) augmenting existing state-of-the-art solvers with…

In this paper we propose an efficient solution for the problem of generating k-labeling forest VNS. This problem is an extension of the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem Labelling problem with important applications in telecommunications…

We address the Budgeted Maximum Coverage Problem (BMCP), which is a natural and more practical extension of the standard 0-1 knapsack problem and the set cover problem. Given m elements with nonnegative weights, n subsets of elements with…

The Virtual Network Embedding Problem (VNEP) considers the efficient allocation of resources distributed in a substrate network to a set of request networks. Many existing works discuss either heuristics or exact algorithms, resulting in a…

Population-based memetic algorithms have been successfully applied to solve many difficult combinatorial problems. Often, a population of fixed size was used in such algorithms to record some best solutions sampled during the search.…

We consider the problem of characterizing graphs with the maximum spectral radius among the connected graphs with given numbers of vertices and edges. It is well-known that the candidates for extremal graphs are threshold graphs, but only a…

Given a graph, the minimum dominating set (MinDS) problem is to identify a smallest set $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The MinDS problem is a classic $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem…
