In evaluating the performance of online algorithms for search trees, one wants to compare them to the best offline algorithm available. In this paper we lower bound the cost of an...
An algorithm for finding coupling points plays an important role in the Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP) which is widely used in registration applications in medical and 3-...
Abstract. We give linear-time algorithms for re-ordering and heightrestricting a binary search tree with only a small increase in cost, constructing a nearly optimal binary search ...
Search engines today present results that are often oblivious to recent shifts in intent. For example, the meaning of the query `independence day' shifts in early July to a U...
Many high-profile applications pose high-dimensional nearest-neighbor search problems. Yet, it still remains difficult to achieve fast query times for state-of-the-art approache...
