—This paper compares the performance of several structured optimization strategies in adaptive signal processing problems that are characterized by ill-conditioned error surfaces...
Topics form a crucial component of a test collection. We show, through visualization, that the INEX 2008 topics have shortcomings, which questions their validity for evaluating XM...

Semantic search promises to produce precise answers to user queries by taking advantage of the availability of explicit semantics of information in the context of the semantic web....
Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
