Pairwise constraints specify whether or not two samples should be in one cluster. Although it has been successful to incorporate them into traditional clustering methods, such as ...
In this paper, we study a novel form of continuous nearest neighbor queries in the presence of obstacles, namely continuous obstructed nearest neighbor (CONN) search. It considers...
We consider the problem of learning a mapping function from low-level feature space to high-level semantic space. Under the assumption that the data lie on a submanifold embedded ...
Encouraging exploration, typically by preserving the diversity within the population, is one of the most common method to improve the behavior of evolutionary algorithms with dece...
Good heuristic solutions for large Multisource Weber problems can be obtained by solving related p-median problems in which potential locations of the facilities are users location...
