We empirically study phase transitions of the asymmetric Traveling Salesman. Using random instances of up to 1,500 cities, we show that many properties of the problem, including t...
Our system for the Novelty Track at TREC 2004 looks beyond sentence boundaries as well as within sentences to identify novel, nonduplicative passages. It tries to identify text sp...
In this paper, a similarity-driven cluster merging method is proposed for unsupervised fuzzy clustering. The cluster merging method is used to resolve the problem of cluster valid...
Monte Carlo simulation can be readily applied to asset pricing problems with multiple state variables and possible path dependencies because convergence of Monte Carlo methods is ...
We consider the problem of estimating the small probability that a function of a finite number of random variables exceeds a large threshold. Each input random variable may be lig...
