Ants are known to be able to find paths of minimal length between the nest and food sources. The deposit of pheromones while they search for food and their chemotactical response to them has been proposed as a crucial element in the…

Inferring gene interaction network from gene expression data is an important task in systems biology research. The gene interaction network, especially key interactions, plays an important role in identifying biomarkers for disease that…

We describe an efficient algorithm for determining exactly the minimum number of sires consistent with the multi-locus genotypes of a mother and her progeny. We consider cases where a simple exhaustive search through all possible sets of…

We give a constructive proof of the existence of lower dimensional elliptic tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. In particular we adapt the classical Kolmogorov's normalization algorithm to the case of planetary systems, for which…

In this paper we present a new Ant Colony Optimisation-based algorithm for Sudoku, which out-performs existing methods on large instances. Our method includes a novel anti-stagnation operator, which we call Best Value Evaporation.

This paper addresses the anytime sorting problem, aiming to develop algorithms providing tentative estimates of the sorted list at each execution step. Comparisons are treated as steps, and the Spearman's footrule metric evaluates…

This paper summarizes a quantum algorithm of [R.D. Somma, et.al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 130504 (2008)] that simulates a classical annealing process for solving discrete optimization problems. The complexity of the quantum algorithm scales…

In this paper we present a new algorithm for a layout optimization problem: this concerns the placement of weighted polygons inside a circular container, the two objectives being to minimize imbalance of mass and to minimize the radius of…

Algorithms for searching and sorting data sets on quantum annealing systems are presented. Search algorithms for unordered data sets are developed. A sorting algorithm for data sets is provided, with a consideration of sort stability.…

Software testing is an important and valuable part of the software development life cycle. Due to time, cost and other circumstances, exhaustive testing is not feasible that's why there is a need to automate the software testing process.…

A random search algorithm intended to solve discrete optimization problems is considered. We outline the main components of the algorithm, and then describe it in more detail. We show how the algorithm can be implemented on parallel…

Flip-sort is a natural sorting procedure which raises fascinating combinatorial questions. It finds its roots in the seminal work of Knuth on stack-based sorting algorithms and leads to many links with permutation patterns. We present…

Large-scale problems are nonlinear problems that need metaheuristics, or global optimization algorithms. This paper reviews nature-inspired metaheuristics, then it introduces a framework named Competitive Ant Colony Optimization inspired by…

A learning algorithm for multilayer perceptrons is presented which is based on finding the principal components of a correlation matrix computed from the example inputs and their target outputs. For large networks our procedure needs far…

We describe and experimentally evaluate a method for automatically clustering words according to their distribution in particular syntactic contexts. Deterministic annealing is used to find lowest distortion sets of clusters. As the…

This paper research review Ant colony optimization (ACO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), both are two powerful meta-heuristics. This paper explains some major defects of these two algorithm at first then proposes a new model for ACO in which,…

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm (HOLRR) to handle regression tasks where the outputs have a tensor structure. We formulate the regression problem as the minimization of a least square criterion under a multilinear rank…

We propose a simulated annealing algorithm specifically tailored to optimise total retrieval times in a multi-level warehouse under complex pre-batched picking constraints. Experiments on real data from a picker-to-parts order picking…

We present a process algebra capable of specifying parallelized Ant Colony Optimization algorithms in full detail: PA$^2$CO. After explaining the basis of three different ACO algorithms (Ant System, MAX-MIN Ant System, and Ant Colony…

Higher-order tensors arise frequently in applications such as neuroimaging, recommendation system, social network analysis, and psychological studies. We consider the problem of low-rank tensor estimation from possibly incomplete,…
