This paper introduces a new component based model that makes it relatively simple to prove that certain types of landscapes are elementary. We use the model to reconstruct proofs ...
The primary objective of this paper was to examine the extent to which Gutman’s Means-End Chain Model can be used to describe the influences given to the choice of characteristi...
We study algorithms for clustering data that were recently proposed by Balcan, Blum and Gupta in SODA’09 [4] and that have already given rise to two follow-up papers. The input f...
We are designing new data mining techniques on boolean contexts to identify a priori interesting bi-sets (i.e., sets of objects or transactions associated to sets of attributes or ...
The area under an ROC curve (AUC) is a criterion used in many applications to measure the quality of a classification algorithm. However, the objective function optimized in most...
