Improving on Very Large Neighborhood Search techniques in Program Synthesis

Inductive Program Synthesis (IPS) has been implemented by a two-stage search algorithm, Brute, and consequently improved upon with a Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) technique, in an algorithm named Vlute. Unmotivated values and design choices within Vlute caused limitations on the performance of IPS tasks. This research improves upon several of...

Stability of Single Layer Cubes on Breakwater Rear Slopes

Breakwaters with single layer concrete armour are very commonly applied nowadays. Much research is available on the stability of single layer armour units on the seaward slope. However, rear slopes design methods for single layer armour units are rare. On rear side slopes usually similar sized units as on the seaward slope are applied. Limited...
