Nearest neighbour search (NNS) is an old problem that is of practical importance in a number of fields. It involves finding, for a given point q, called the query, one or more po...
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...
An instance of the generalized partial cover problem consists of a ground set U and a family of subsets S 2U . Each element e U is associated with a profit p(e), whereas each su...
Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
