There are a lot of approaches for solving planning problems. Many of these approaches are based on `brute force` search methods and do not care about structures of plans previousl...
We examine issues in the design of fully dynamic information retrieval systems with support for instantaneous document insertions and deletions. We present one such system and dis...
A pattern database (PDB) is a heuristic function in a form of a lookup table which stores the cost of optimal solutions for instances of subproblems. bproblems are generated by abs...
We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...
An approach to target-based image retrieval is described based on on-line rank-based learning. User feedback obtained via interaction with 2D image layouts provides qualitative co...
