Nearest neighbour (NN) searches and k nearest neighbour (k-NN) searches are widely used in pattern recognition and image retrieval. An NN (k-NN) search finds the closest object (...
Abstract. This paper proposes to apply the branch and bound principle from combinatorial optimization to the Dissimilarity Self-Organizing Map (DSOM), a variant of the SOM that can...
Abstract. Variable elimination is the basic step of Adaptive Consistency 4 . It transforms the problem into an equivalent one, having one less variable. Unfortunately, there are ma...
Abstract Within the context of solving Mixed-Integer Linear Programs by a Branch-andCut algorithm, we propose a new strategy for branching. Computational experiments show that, on ...
This paper highlights a phenomenon that causes deductively learned knowledge to be harmful when used for problem solving. The problem occurs when deductive problem solvers encount...
