Heuristics for Creating Assignments to Incorporate Simulations

The use of simulations in learning physics is a topic of growing interest in physics education research circles. While prior research has been conducted to understand the factors that promote engaging and interacting with sims in an interview setting, little work has been done to understand how assignments affect students’ interactions with the sims in various environments. This paper explores ...

Creating heuristics with machine learning∗

Heuristic searches are the most commonly used search methods in the eld of arti cial intelligence. A heuristic provides an estimate of the remaining distance to the goal. With this knowledge, the search algorithms can greatly prune the search tree that has to be explored to nd a solution. Heuristic function is often done by hand using human intuition but can be automated to some extent. An auto...

Effective heuristics and meta-heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem with tuned parameters and analytical comparisons

Quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a well-known problem in the facility location and layout. It belongs to the NP-complete class. There are many heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, which are presented for QAP in the literature. In this paper, we applied 2-opt, greedy 2-opt, 3-opt, greedy 3-opt, and VNZ as heuristic methods and tabu search (TS), simulated annealing, and pa...

Running Head: HEURISTICS FOR SOCIAL INTERACTIONS Heuristics for Social Interactions: How to Generate Trust and Fairness

We study a bargaining situation—an indefinitely repeated investment game in which Player A decides how much of an endowment he wants to invest whereas Player B decides how much of the then tripled investment she wants to return. In two studies, we show that participants in the role of Player A make substantial investments (“trust”), those in the role of Player B return substantial parts of the ...
