We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
One major factor that heavily affects the performance of a content distribution network (CDN) is placement of the surrogates. Previous works take a network-centric approach and con...
A key challenge in recommender system research is how to effectively profile new users, a problem generally known as cold-start recommendation. Recently the idea of progressivel...
We prove the existence of an algorithm A for computing 2-d or 3-d convex hulls that is optimal for every point set in the following sense: for every set S of n points and for ever...
This paper describes an algorithm for the determination of zone content type of a given zone within a document image. We take a statistical based approach and represent each zone ...
