Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

Israeli start-up LightSolver, inventor of a new laser-based computing paradigm, today announced that Senior Algorithmics Researcher Dr. Dani Gluck will speak at Quantum Algorithms and Optimization in ...

Examples include bio-inspired optimization techniques such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, and geometry-inspired techniques such as Nelder-Mead (also known as simplex, or amoeba ...

This course examines formulation and solution of applicable optimization models, including linear, integer, nonlinear, and network problems, efficient algorithm methods, and use of computer modeling ...

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 ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
