The generation of better label placement configurations in maps is a problem that comes up in automated cartographic production. The objective of a good label placement is to displ...
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
In spite of the many decades of progress in database research, surprisingly scientists in the life sciences community still struggle with inefficient and awkward tools for queryin...
— This paper introduces the contextual dissimilarity measure which significantly improves the accuracy of bag-offeatures based image search. Our measure takes into account the l...
We consider a fundamental problem in data structures, static predecessor searching: Given a subset S of size n from the universe [m], store S so that queries of the form “What i...
