Most existing reranking approaches to image search focus solely on mining "visual" cues within the initial search results. However, the visual information cannot always ...
Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
SHARK is a novel concept and middleware service for search in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Rather than flooding a network like Gnutella or imposing numerical IDs on objects like d...
It is known that bounds on the minimax values of nodes in a game tree can be used to reduce the computational complexity of minimax search for two-player games. We describe a very...
Recent work in supervised learning of term-based retrieval models has shown significantly improved accuracy can often be achieved via better model estimation [2, 10, 11, 17]. In ...
