Optimization problems often involve situations in which the user's goal is to minimize and/or maximize not a single objective function, but several, usually conflicting, functions simultaneously. Such ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

Implementation of numerical optimization algorithms in MATLAB, including derivative-free and gradient-based methods for unconstrained problems, and projection techniques for constrained optimization.

Abstract: Online advertising is typically implemented via real-time bidding, and advertising campaigns are then defined as extremely high-dimensional optimization problems. To solve these problems in ...

Solving optimization problems is challenging for existing digital computers and even for future quantum hardware. The practical importance of diverse problems, from healthcare to financial ...

We present OPT-BENCH, a benchmark comprising 20 machine learning tasks and 10 NP problems, specifically designed to assess large language models’ (LLMs) ability to solve problems with large search ...

Annealing processors (APs) are gaining popularity for solving complex optimization problems. Fully-coupled Ising model APs are especially valued for their flexibility, but balancing capacity (number ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Palo Alto, California-based D-Wave Quantum Inc. claims to be the first company that sells computers that leverage quantum effects in their operation. The company recently demonstrated how its quantum ...

Electric car owners experience a problem at 1 out of every 5 public charging sessions they initiate, according to a recent survey by Consumer Reports’ EV Charging Community. The likelihood of problems ...
