There are three groups of optimization techniques available in PROC NLP. A particular optimizer can be selected with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLP statement. Since no single optimization ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, evolutionary algorithms for training huge neural networks could become a very important and ...

Evolutionary optimization (EO) is a type of genetic algorithm that can help minimize the error between computed output values and training data target output values ...

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 ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

The user needs to choose the optimizer, and the application characteristics should drive the optimization algorithm selection, not the mathematical appeal, academic fashion, or traditional company ...
