A heuristic technique that combines a genetic algorithm with a Tabu Search algorithm is applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The hybrid algorithm improves the result...
The scheduling of exams in institutions of higher education is known to be a highly constrained problem. The advent of modularity in many institutions in the UK has resulted in a s...
It has been observed that precision increases with collection size. One explanation could be that the redundancy of information increases, making it easier to find multiple docum...
The test set accuracy for ensembles of classifiers selected based on single measures of accuracy and diversity as well as combinations of such measures is investigated. It is foun...
We investigate the use of probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide the operation of a Web-based question-answering system. We first provide an overview of research ...
