Abstract-Crossover operator proved to be very important component for supporting diversity strategy, and producing new population. Many researches came out with different operators that are suitable to different types of problems. However, some of crossover techniques usually produce infeasible solution which implies the use of repair function to rebuild the solution. Moreover, some of existing crossover operators is not suitable for high constrained problems. Course timetabling of university is known to be highly constrained optimization problem, where lectures assigned to specific timeslots and rooms, with maintaining feasibility and satisfying soft constraints. In this paper, we present genetic algorithms for solving course timetabling problem. The algorithm consists of new optimized crossover utilizes Exponential Monte Carlo with Counter. The approach is tested and the result demonstrates that our approach is able to produce good quality solutions for course timetable problem.
Abstract:The human behavior has always been very influential in systems engineering. In fact, AI methods and techniques are largely influenced by the human behavior in the form of mental and mechanical capabilities. The human learning, persevering and then recalling knowledge is the focal point in artificial intelligence research. But less attention is paid to forgetting as one of the characteristics that have a very positive role in human intelligence. This paper seeks to integrate data forgetting as part of the behavior of case-based reasoning systems. The aim is to improve the performance of CBR systems by filtering out irrelevant cases as part of the machine behavior in the form of CBR systems. The paper presents a prototypical implementation of the of a forgettable CBR system that provides course recommendations as part of student registration system. Experimental work has been carried out using historical data of postgraduate students in the Computer science department, Tripoli University, Libya.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
