Abstract: Recently, neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) methods have been prevailing for solving multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems (MOCOPs). Most NCO methods are based on the ...

Supply chain professionals are spending a lot of time talking about artificial intelligence, digital transformation, visibility platforms, and predictive analytics. Yet one of the most important ...

Most improvement efforts don't fail at implementation. They fail in the first ten minutes of the meeting — before anyone has picked up a marker or drawn a fishbone. A problem appears. The team gathers ...

For new discoveries, everyday mysteries, and the science behind the headlines, follow NPR's ShortWave podcast . Over a century ago, the German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler conducted what became a ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...
