Sponsored search mechanisms have drawn much attention from both academic community and industry in recent years since the seminal papers of [3] and [4]. However, most of the exist...
We present a tool that can efficiently facilitate interactive navigation and search in videos. In addition to browsing a video by shots it also allows a user to navigate through a...
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...
