Organizing Web search results into a hierarchy of topics and subtopics facilitates browsing the collection and locating results of interest. In this paper, we propose a new hierar...
Multivariate resultants generalize the Sylvester resultant of two polynomials and characterize the solvability of a polynomial system. They also reduce the computation of all comm...
We develop a new algorithm for clustering search results. Differently from many other clustering systems that have been recently proposed as a post-processing step for Web search ...
The Traveling Salesman Problem with Pickup and Delivery (TSPPD) is defined on a graph containing pickup and delivery vertices between which there exists a one-toone relationship. ...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...
