We consider the problem of finding obnoxious centers in graphs. For arbitrary graphs with n vertices and m edges, we give a randomized algorithm with O(n log2 n + m log n) expecte...
In this paper, we present a novel solution to the image annotation problem which annotates images using search and data mining technologies. An accurate keyword is required to ini...
Local search algorithms are one of the effective methods for solving hard combinatorial problems. However, a serious problem of this approach is that the search often traps at loca...
We consider the problem of implementing nger search trees on the pointer machine, i.e., how to maintain a sorted list such that searching for an element x, starting the search at ...
Efficient search for nearest neighbors (NN) is a fundamental problem arising in a large variety of applications of vast practical interest. In this paper we propose a novel techniq...
