Structure Learning in Bayesian Networks Using Asexual Reproduction Optimization
A new structure learning approach for Bayesian networks (BNs) based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) is proposed in this letter. ARO can be essentially considered as an evolutionary based algorithm that mathematically models the budding mechanism of asexual reproduction. In ARO, a parent produces a bud through a reproduction operator; thereafter the parent and its bud compete to survi...
متن کاملModifying Stress-Strain Curves Using Optimization and Finite Elements Simulation Methods
Modifying stress-strain curves is one of the important topics in mechanical engineering and materials science. Real stress-strain curves should be modified after necking point as stress becomes three-dimensional after creation of throat, and consequently, equivalent stress should be used instead of axial one. Also, distribution of triple stresses across throat section is not uniform anymore, an...
متن کاملComputing optimal pumping strategies for groundwater contaminant plume remediation
Simulation/Optimization (S/0) models can greatly simplify the process of designing remediation systems for contaminated groundwater. We describe some technical aspects of using S/0 models and possible S/0 model formulations for groundwater remediation design. We: discuss some S/0 model optimization algorithms; illustrate simple optimization problem solution; describe two real-world S/0 model ap...
متن کاملA General Parallel Simulated Annealing Library and its Application in Airline Industry
To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances of these problems or those with a lot of hard constraints even fast heuristics require a considerable amount of computational time. At the same time, especially for sensitivity analyses, fast response times are necessar...
متن کاملPersistent Surveillance of Events with Unknown Rate Statistics
We present a novel algorithm for persistent monitoring of stochastic events that occur at discrete locations in the environment with unknown event rates. Prior research on persistent monitoring assumes knowledge of event rates, which is often not the case in robotics applications. We consider the multi-objective optimization of maximizing the total number of events observed in a balanced manner...
