Complex questions that require inferencing and synthesizing information from multiple documents can be seen as a kind of topicoriented, informative multi-document summarization. I...
Query expansion is a long-studied approach for improving retrieval effectiveness by enhancing the user's original query with additional related words. Current algorithms for ...
We develop a novel method for fitting high-resolution template meshes to detailed human body range scans with sparse 3D markers. We formulate an optimization problem in which the ...
Background: Identifying cis-regulatory elements is crucial to understanding gene expression, which highlights the importance of the computational detection of overrepresented tran...
A custom genetic algorithm was developed and implemented to solve multiple objective multi-state reliability optimization design problems. Many real-world engineering design proble...
