We study principled methods for incorporating user utility into the selection of sponsored search ads. We describe variations of the GSP allocation/pricing mechanism that accommod...
Retrieving music from large digital databases is a demanding computational task. The cost for indexing and searching depends not only on the computational effort of measuring music...
This paper presents multiDE, an extension of Price and Storn's differential evolution (DE) algorithm that consistently outperforms state-of-the-art search techniques for iden...
In this paper a hybrid algorithm to solve Irregular Strip Packing problems is presented. The metaheuristic simulated annealing is used to guide the search over the solution space ...
The center string (or closest string) problem is a classical computer science problem with important applications in computational biology. Given k input strings and a distance thr...
