OBJECTIVE: Prediction of epileptic seizures can improve the living conditions for refractory epilepsy patients. We aimed to improve sensitivity and specificity of prediction methods, and to reduce the number of false alarms.
We describe a novel hyper-heuristic system that continuously learns over time to solve a combinatorial optimisation problem. The system continuously generates new heuristics and samples problems from its environment; and representative problems and h...
Hyper-heuristics are search methodologies that aim to provide high-quality solutions across a wide variety of problem domains, rather than developing tailor-made methodologies for each problem instance/domain. A traditional hyper-heuristic framework ...
