Neural Architecture Search has achieved state-of-the-art performance in a variety of tasks, out-performing human-designed networks. However, many assumptions, that require human definition, related with the problems being solved or the…

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are susceptible to various noise factors leading to the loss of information, and the noise restricts the subsequent HSIs object detection and classification tasks. In recent years, learning-based methods have…

Network dismantling aims to degrade the connectivity of a network by removing an optimal set of nodes. It has been widely adopted in many real-world applications such as epidemic control and rumor containment. However, conventional methods…

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is the problem of finding a set of collision-free paths for multiple agents in a shared environment while minimizing the sum of travel time. Since solving the MAPF problem optimally is NP-hard, anytime…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) achieved great cognitive performance at the expense of considerable computation load. To relieve the computation load, many optimization works are developed to reduce the model redundancy by identifying…

Many traditional algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems involve using hand-crafted heuristics that sequentially construct a solution. Such heuristics are designed by domain experts and may often be suboptimal due to the…
