This paper proposes a new crossover operator for searching over discrete probability spaces. The design of the operator is considered in the light of recent theoretical insights i...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
Adapting keyword search to XML data has been attractive recently, generalized as XML keyword search (XKS). One of its key tasks is to return the meaningful fragments as the result...
Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
Image similarity search is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Efficient similarity search across large image databases depends critically on the availability of compact ima...
