In this research work a large set of the classical numerical functions were taken into account in order to understand both the search capability and the ability to escape from a lo...

There is an upsurging interest in designing succinct data structures for basic searching problems (see [23] and references therein). The motivation has to be found in the exponent...
We develop a hierarchical approach to planning for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in which a policy is represented as a hierarchical finite-state control...
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
