We describe an algorithm for finding approximate seeds for DNA homology searches. In contrast to previous algorithms that use exact or spaced seeds, our approximate seeds may conta...
In focused XML retrieval, information retrieval systems have to find out which are the most appropriate retrieval units and return only these to the user, avoiding overlapping elem...
Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...
We show how global constraints such as transitivity can be treated intensionally in a Zero-One Integer Linear Programming (ILP) framework which is geared to find the optimal and c...
A new face recognition algorithm is presented. It supposes that a video sequence of a person is available both at enrollment and test time. During enrollment, a client Gaussian Mi...
