Without textual descriptions or label information of images, searching semantic concepts in image databases is still a very challenging task. While automatic annotation techniques...
Many contemporary database applications require similarity-based retrieval of complex objects where the only usable knowledge of its domain is determined by a metric distance func...

We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
In this paper, we proposed Fittest Individual Refinement (FIR), a crossover based local search method for Differential Evolution (DE). The FIR scheme accelerates DE by enhancing...
This paper presents a potential seed selection algorithm for web crawlers using a gain - share scoring approach. Initially we consider a set of arbitrarily chosen tourism queries. ...
