Abstract: In this paper, we scrutinised an improvement of the Modified Cuckoo Search (MCS), called Modified Cuckoo Search-Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCS-MCMC) algorithm, for solving optimisation ...

This version is being maintained to keep up with CRAN standards. As soon as possible a new version (with possible breaking changes) with less dependencies will be released later in 2022 or beginning ...

Abstract: Structural testing is a significant and expensive process in software development. By converting test data generation into an optimization problem, search-based software testing is one of ...

In response to the shortcomings of the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) such as low convergence accuracy and slow convergence speed, a Multi-Strategy-Driven Salp Swarm Algorithm (MSD-SSA) was proposed.

To solve the low efficiency of simple greedy algorithms, [22] in 2009 proposed a degree discount heuristics to improve influence spread, by considering the degree discount of a candidate node caused ...

miRNA plays an important role in many biological processes, and increasing evidence shows that miRNAs are closely related to human diseases. Most existing miRNA-disease association prediction methods ...

Highly complex distributed algorithms are ubiquitous in nature: from the behavior of social insect colonies and bird flocks, to cellular differentiation in embryonic development, to neural information ...
