Search engines have become efficient assistants for people to access information on the Web. Some researchers argue that the prevalence of search engines is setting a tough journ...
We present a novel search algorithm which is suitable for optimizing functions with a high-dimensional discrete-valued parameter vector. The algorithm is designed to find a funct...

The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
In this paper, we present two linear-size external memory data structures for approximate range searching. Our first structure, the BAR-B-tree, stores a set of N points in Rd and ...
—Subspaces offer convenient means of representing information in many pattern recognition, machine vision, and statistical learning applications. Contrary to the growing populari...
