An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
We present an effective method to optimize over the parameters of an image patch descriptor to obtain one that is computationally more efficient while maintaining a high recogniti...
Abstract. We address a location-allocation problem that requires deciding the location of a set of facilities, the allocation of customers to those facilities under facility capaci...
The problem of sorting a signed permutation by reversals is inspired by genome rearrangements in computational molecular biology. Given two genomes represented as two signed permut...
A genomic map is represented by a sequence of gene markers, and a gene marker can appear in several different genomic maps, in either positive or negative form. A strip (syntenic b...
