One of the most fundamental problems in web search is how to re-rank result web pages based on user logs. Most traditional models for re-ranking assume each query has a single int...
The paper explores the power of two systematic Branch and Bound search algorithms that exploit partition-based heuristics, BBBT (a new algorithm for which the heuristic informatio...
The capability of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) to handle premature convergence is critically important when applied to real-world problems. Their highly multi-mo...
