A Variable Neighbourhood Search for nurse scheduling with balanced preference satisfaction (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Constantino, A. A., Tozzo, E., Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Romão, W. (2015). A Variable Neighbourhood Search for nurse scheduling with balanced preference satisfaction.

The nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem widely tackled in the literature. Recently, a new variant of this problem was proposed, called nurse scheduling problem with balanced preference satisfaction (NSPBPS). This pa...

Term frequency with average term occurrences for textual information retrieval (2015)
Journal Article
Ibrahim, O., & Landa-Silva, D. (2016). Term frequency with average term occurrences for textual information retrieval. Soft Computing, 20(8), 3045-3061. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-015-1935-7

In the context of Information Retrieval (IR) from text documents, the term-weighting scheme (TWS) is a key component of the matching mechanism when using the vector space model (VSM). In this paper we propose a new TWS that is based on computing the... Read More about Term frequency with average term occurrences for textual information retrieval.

Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Atkin, J. (2015). Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps.

Understanding the relationships between objectives in many-objective optimisation problems is desirable in order to develop more effective algorithms. We propose a techniquefor the analysis and visualisation of complex relationships between many (thr...
