Abstract: We present a new framework for constructing polar codes (i.e., selecting the frozen bit positions) for arbitrary channels, tailored to a given decoding algorithm rather than assuming the ...

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

Abstract: There are many applications where it is necessary to find an optimal spanning tree. For several of these, recent research has suggested the use of genetic algorithms (GAs). Historically, the ...

This is a modern implementation of the Hybrid Genetic Search (HGS) with Advanced Diversity Control of [1], specialized to the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). This algorithm has been ...

For Beijing-based METiS TechBio CEO Lai Tsai-ta, ageing is comparable to bugs building up in a complex software system – it happens once errors begin to accumulate in the genetic code of human cells, ...
