This paper discusses the selection and design of heuristic procedures for solving one-dimensional roll trim problems. These are well-defined combinatorial problems which are too large to optimize.

The human brain is very good at solving complicated problems. One reason for that is that humans can break problems apart into manageable subtasks that are easy to solve one at a time. This allows us ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain is very good at solving complicated problems. One reason for that is that humans can break problems apart into manageable subtasks that are easy to solve one at a time ...

When faced with a tricky maze task involving hidden information, humans instinctively toggle between two clever mental strategies: simplifying in steps or mentally rewinding. MIT researchers showed ...
