Despite the widespread use of BM25, there have been few studies examining its effectiveness on a document description over single and multiple field combinations. We determine t...
We show that for every set S of n points in the plane and a designated point rt ∈ S, there exists a tree T that has small maximum degree, depth and weight. Moreover, for every po...
Abstract. Population size is a critical parameter that affects the performance of an Evolutionary Computation model. A variable population size scheme is considered potentially be...
In this paper, we propose a simple and fully distributed mechanism for constructing and maintaining the overlay topology in mesh-based P2P-TV systems. Our algorithm optimizes the ...

Stochastic local search algorithms can now successfully solve MAXSAT problems with thousands of variables or more. A key to this success is how effectively the search can navigate...
