Too Constrained for Genetic Algorithms. Too Hard for Evolutionary Computing. The Traveling Tournament Problem.

Conference Proceeding
Verduin, K., Thomson, S. L., & van den Berg, D. (2023)
Too Constrained for Genetic Algorithms. Too Hard for Evolutionary Computing. The Traveling Tournament Problem. In Proceedings of the 15th International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (246-257). https://doi.org/10.5220/0012192100003595
Unlike other NP-hard problems, the constraints on the traveling tournament problem are so pressing that it’s hardly possible to randomly generate a valid solution, for example...

Leveraging contextual representations with BiLSTM-based regressor for lexical complexity prediction

Journal Article
Aziz, A., Hossain, M. A., Chy, A. N., Ullah, M. Z., & Aono, M. (2023)
Leveraging contextual representations with BiLSTM-based regressor for lexical complexity prediction. Natural Language Processing Journal, 5, Article 100039. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nlp.2023.100039
