There has long been a competition between simulation and optimization in the modeling of problems in transportation and logistics, machine scheduling and similar highdimensional p...
Abstract. In this paper we describe a language and method for deriving ontologies and ordering databases. The ontological structures arrived at are distributive lattices with attri...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
Range searching is a well known problem in the area of geometric data structures. We consider this problem in the context of approximation, where an approximation parameter ε >...
We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...
