Abstract: The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a typical discrete combinatorial optimization problem, and many models and algorithms have been proposed to solve the VRP and its variants. Although ...

Abstract: A hybrid heuristic algorithm based on improved rules and reinforcement learning is proposed to solve the 2D strip packing problem (2DSPP). Firstly, the scoring rules based on the skyline ...

You can sharpen your mind and potentially protect against age-related cognitive decline by engaging in brain exercises like puzzles and card games. Learning new skills, whether it’s a language, a ...

As the tech world inches a closer to the idea of artificial general intelligence, we’re seeing another interesting theme emerging in the ongoing democratization of AI: a wave of startups building tech ...

Human biases are well-documented, from implicit association tests that demonstrate biases we may not even be aware of, to field experiments that demonstrate how much these biases can affect outcomes.

"One of the major advantages of project work is that it makes school more like real life. In real life, we don't spend several hours at a time listening to authorities who know more than we do and who ...

Project-based learning, as with all lessons, requires much preparation and planning. It begins with an idea and an essential question. When you are designing the project and the essential question ...
