Ensembles for Optimisation Sep 1, 2015 - Aug 31, 2016
Optimisation – finding cost-effective or high-performing solutions - is a key economic driver for business today. However, academic literature on search-based optimisation techniques reflects an escalating arms race to produce highly specialized algo... Read More about Ensembles for Optimisation.

An Investigation of Hyper-Heuristic Methods: A New Generation of Problems-Solvers Nov 1, 2000 - Jul 31, 2004
The project made significant advances in discovering new automated methods for combining heuristics to solve bin-packing problems, outperforming results obtained by any individual heuristic.

Advances were made using learning classifier... Read More about An Investigation of Hyper-Heuristic Methods: A New Generation of Problems-Solvers.
