We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

This paper analyzes theoretically the exact sampling distribution of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) without any assumption imposed by all current analyses. The distribution...
Today’s search engines are increasingly required to broaden their capabilities beyond free-text search. More complex features, such as supporting range constraints over numeric ...

— As sensors continue to proliferate, the capabilities of effectively querying not only sensor data but also its metadata becomes important in a wide range of applications. This ...
We investigate the idea of finding semantically related search engine queries based on their temporal correlation; in other words, we infer that two queries are related if their p...
