“Heuristic synergy” refers to improvements in search performance when the decisions made by two or more heuristics are combined. This paper considers combinations based on prod...
The problem of effectively combining multiple heuristic estimators has been studied extensively in the context of optimal planning, but not in the context of satisficing planning....
Query logs of a Web search engine have been increasingly used as a vital source for data mining. This paper presents a study on largescale domain-independent entity extraction fro...
Real-time search methods are suited for tasks in which the agent is interacting with an initially unknown environment in real time. In such simultaneous planning and learning prob...
We present a cooperative parallel tabu search method for the fixed charge, capacitated, multicommodity network design problem. Several communication strategies are analyzed and co...
