Combinatorial optimisation is a fundamental field in applied mathematics and computer science that focuses on finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects. In this context, problems are ...

Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to finance ...

In this graduate-level course, we will be covering advanced topics in combinatorial optimization. We will start with matchings and cover many results, extending the fundamental results of matchings, ...

Toshiba developed a breakthrough third‑generation simulated bifurcation algorithm that dramatically boosts SBM performance to ...

The rise of AI, graphic processing, combinatorial optimization and other data-intensive applications has resulted in data-processing bottlenecks, as ever greater amounts of data must be shuttled back ...

Traffic congestion has been worsening since the 1950s in large cities thanks to the exorbitant number of cars sold each year. Unfortunately, the figurative price tag attached to excessive traffic ...

The proposed algorithm combines variational scheduling with post-processing to achieve near-optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with constraints within the operation time of ...

Bicycle sharing systems have become an attractive option to alleviate traffic in congested cities. However, rebalancing the number of bikes at each port as time passes is essential, and finding the ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling Salesman Problem (find the best ordering of a set of discrete items). The goal of a combinatorial ...

A new technical paper titled “Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization” was published by researchers at Microsoft Research, Barclays and University of Cambridge.
