Metaheuristics constitute a family of high-level, problem-independent algorithmic frameworks designed to guide underlying heuristics toward near-optimal solutions in domains where exact methods are ...

A new technical paper titled “Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization” was published by researchers at Microsoft Research, Barclays and University of Cambridge.

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

Toshiba Corporation has realized a major breakthrough in combinatorial optimization—the selection of the best solutions from among an enormous number of combinatorial patterns—with the development of ...

Dielectric materials be categorized into four types depending on the hysteresis loops they exhibit: paraelectric (PE), ferroelectric (FE), relaxor ferroelectric (RFE), and antiferroelectric (AFE).
