Local search algorithms are one of the effective methods for solving hard combinatorial problems. However, a serious problem of this approach is that the search often traps at loca...
In this paper, the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) and a sub-regional harmony search (SHS) are hybridized to obtain DMS-PSO-SHS. A Modified multi-trajectory ...
We address the problem of measuring global quality metrics of search engines, like corpus size, index freshness, and density of duplicates in the corpus. The recently proposed est...
Current search engines generally employ link analysis techniques to web-page re-ranking. However, the same techniques are problematic in small webs, such as websites or intranet w...
