As one of the strongest Othello agents, Edax employs an n-tuple network to evaluate the board, with points of interest represented as tuples. However, this network maintains a constant shape throughout the game, whereas the points of interest in Othello vary with respect to game’s progress....

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III) in comparison to the traditional Mean-Variance optimization method for financial portfolio management. Leveraging a dataset of global financial assets, we applied both approaches to optimize...

Background: In today's business world, where competition lies between supply chains, customer expectations are changing dynamically. Effective order picking in warehouses has become a top concern given expectations for rapid delivery, a larger product range, and continuous support. Methods: In...

Employee turnover poses a significant challenge to organizations, leading to increased costs and disruptions in workforce stability. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid model for employee turnover prediction that integrates Genetic Algorithms (GA) for feature selection with LightGBM for...

Metaheuristics are widely used to address complex optimisation problems where traditional exact methods are computationally infeasible or insufficiently flexible. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, large language models, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and LLaMA, have...

The inability of small companies to compete with large production systems has led to the sharing resources in cloud production systems among smaller companies to compensate for their production deficiencies. This study proposes a multi-objective, multi-level cloud production system by minimizing...
