Recently several database-based applications have emerged that are remote from data sources and need accurate histograms for query cardinality estimation. Traditional approaches fo...
In this paper, we report our experiments in the TREC 2008 Relevance Feedback Track. Our main goal is to study a novel problem in feedback, i.e., optimization of the balance of the...
Obtaining an accurate multiple alignment of protein sequences is a difficult computational problem for which many heuristic techniques sacrifice optimality to achieve reasonable r...
Combination of AI/OR methods is gaining a great deal of attention because many combinatorial problems especially in planning and scheduling areas can be solved by means of combined...
This paper presents preliminary work done on simulationbased optimization of a stochastic material-dispatching system in a retailer network. The problem we consider is one of dete...
