This paper provides a test method to make a fair comparison between different heuristics in structure optimization. When statistical methods are applied to the structural optimization (namely heuristics or meta-heuristics with several tunable parameters and starting seeds), the "one problem - one result" is extremely far from the fair comparison. From statistical point of view, the minimal requ...

Sistem kimliklendirme ve modelleme için en yaygın kullanılan yapay zekâ tekniklerinden biri sinir ağlarıdır. Yapay ağları ile etkili sonuçlar elde etmek bir eğitim sürecine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Meta-sezgisel algoritmalar pek çok gerçek dünya probleminin çözümünde başarılı şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle ağı eğitiminde, ağa ait parametrelerin optimizasyonu gerekmektedir. Son zamanlarda, bu...

Numerical predictions are of central interest for both coherence-based approaches to judgment and decisions — the Heuristic and Biases (HB) program in particular — and to correspondence-based approaches — Social Judgment Theory (SJT). In this paper I examine the way these two approaches study numerical predictions by reviewing papers that use Cue Probability Learning (CPL), the central experime...

This paper provides the survey of the heuristics solution approaches for the traveling salesman problem (TSP). TSP is easy to understand, however, it is very difficult to solve. Due to complexity involved with exact solution approaches it is hard to solve TSP within feasible time. That’s why different heuristics are generally applied to solve TSP. Heuristics to solve TSP are presented here with...

this paper deals with the product mix problem using the concept of theory of constraints (toc). theory of constraints is one of the most efficient approaches which have been applied to solve the product mix problem heuristically. although there are numerous heuristic and meta-heuristics to solve this problem, finding the optimal solution in a reasonable time is still a challenging issue. in thi...

In this chapter, we focus on psychological and brain perspectives on the experience of coincidence. We first introduce the topic of the experience of coincidence in general. In the second section, we outline several psychological mechanisms that underlie the experience of coincidence in humans, such as cognitive biases, the role of context and the role of individual differences. In the third an...

Nowadays, with the growth of technology and the industrialization of societies, work-related accidents, and consequently the threat of human capital and material resources are among the problems of the countries of the world. The most important legal solution in most countries to control occupational accidents and illnesses is to conduct periodic site visits and identify hazardous sites. To the...
