Informationretrieval systems typically weight the importance of search terms according to document and collection statistics (such as by using tf idf scores, where less commonterm...
In this paper we describe a stochastic local search (SLS) procedure for finding models of satisfiable propositional formulae. This new algorithm, gNovelty+ , draws on the features...

Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
Motion estimation represents the most computationally intensive task for all efficient motion compensated compression standards. This fact, despite the several eflorts aiming at r...
