If you want to simulate a tic-tac-toe game, that’s easy. You can evaluate every possible move in a reasonable amount of time. Simulating antennas, however, is much harder. [Rosrislav] has been ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 25, No. 3 (Aug., 2000), pp. 476-484 (9 pages) Simulated Annealing has proven to be a very successful heuristic for various combinatorial optimization problems.

1- Is it possible to avoid local minima by combining a crude form of simulated annealing with backprop?<BR><BR>specifically, make the activation or weights stochastic, and gradually reduce the ...

Quantum technology is maturing to the point where quantum devices, such as quantum communication systems, quantum random number generators and quantum simulators may be built with capabilities ...
