Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
Context-based literature digital library search is a new search paradigm that creates an effective ranking of query outputs by controlling query output topic diversity. We define ...
We present a novel approach to managing redundancy in sequence databanks such as GenBank. We store clusters of near-identical sequences as a representative union-sequence and a se...

We introduce the Haar+ tree: a refined, wavelet-inspired data structure for synopsis construction. The advantages of this structure are twofold: First, it achieves higher synopsis...
The goal of this paper is to describe an efficient procedure for color-based image retrieval. The proposed procedure consists of two stages. First, the image data set is hierarchi...
