Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
Combinatorics is the science of "possibilities." This definition, while not formal is a fair statement because all too often, in order to gain insight into the solution of many counting problems, we explore the possibilities. In some cases we seek to know how many options, while in other cases we seek to enumerate or list the options. Irrespective of the scenario, combinatorics plays a vital role today. In many instances such as exploring the options for choosing a new password for a combination lock, we employ combinatorics. In considering the possible license plate permutations for a state, or to see …

Though metaheuristics have been frequently employed to improve the performance of data mining algorithms, the opposite is not true. This paper discusses the process of employing a data mining algorithm to improve the performance of a metaheuristic algorithm. The targeted algorithms to be hybridized are the Meta-heuristic for Randomized Priority Search (Meta-RaPS) and an algorithm used to create an Inductive Decision Tree. This hybridization focuses on using a decision tree to perform on-line tuning of the parameters in Meta-RaPS. The process makes use of the information collected during the iterative construction and improvement phases Meta-RaPS performs. The data mining algorithm …
