Pilot, Rollout and Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods for Job Shop Scheduling
Thomas Philip Runarsson, Marc Schoenauer, Michèle Sebag
Greedy heuristics may be attuned by looking ahead for each possible choice, in an approach called the rollout or Pilot method. These methods may be seen as meta-heuristics that can…
Alternative Restart Strategies for CMA-ES
Ilya Loshchilov, Marc Schoenauer, Michèle Sebag
This paper focuses on the restart strategy of CMA-ES on multi-modal functions. A first alternative strategy proceeds by decreasing the initial step-size of the mutation while doubl…
Experimental Comparisons of Derivative Free Optimization Algorithms
Anne Auger, Nikolaus Hansen, Jorge M. Perez Zerpa +2
In this paper, the performances of the quasi-Newton BFGS algorithm, the NEWUOA derivative free optimizer, the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), the Differen…
An efficient memetic, permutation-based evolutionary algorithm for real-world train timetabling
Marc Schoenauer, Yann Semet
Train timetabling is a difficult and very tightly constrained combinatorial problem that deals with the construction of train schedules. We focus on the particular problem of local…
