How General is Your Algorithm?
One of the research issues that has been tackled for at least 50 years is attempting to develop algorithms that are better than other algorithms on a certain type of problem (for example, vehicle routing, traveling salesman problem etc.). And it is easy to judge if you have a better algorithm. You run it on […]
Horse Race Prediction with Neural Networks
I was sorting through some old papers recently and I came across my undergraduate final year dissertation. I recall that it started as a project about genetic algorithms but quickly turned into a project that used neural networks to predict the outcome of horse races. I trained a back propagation network and used the final […]
