This paper presents novel tree-based search algorithms that exploit the SIMD instructions found in virtually all modern processors. The algorithms are a natural extension of binar...

Discovery of frequent patterns has been studied in a variety of data mining settings. In its simplest form, known from association rule mining, the task is to discover all frequent...
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Object recognition systems aiming to work in real world settings should use multiple cues in order to achieve robustness. We present a new cue integration scheme which extends the...
