In this paper we discuss the potential for semantic search and focus on the most immediate problem toward its realization: the problem of the sparsity and relatively low quality of...
This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
We give linear-time algorithms for a class of parametric search problems on weighted graphs of bounded tree-width. We also discuss the implications of our results to approximate p...
Since Grover’s seminal work, quantum search has been studied in great detail. In the usual search problem, we have a collection of n items x1, . . . , xn and we would like
Predictive models in direct marketing seek to identify individuals most likely to respond to promotional solicitations or other intervention programs. While standard modeling appr...
