Information-theoretic approaches to branching in search
Deciding what to branch on at each node is a key element of search algorithms. We present four families of methods for selecting what question to branch on. They are all informati...

Triangle Fixing Algorithms for the Metric Nearness Problem
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...

Face Detection - Efficient and Rank Deficient
This paper proposes a method for computing fast approximations to support vector decision functions in the field of object detection. In the present approach we are building on an...

Applying Learnable Evolution Model to Heat Exchanger Design
A new approach to evolutionary computation, called Learnable Evolution Model (LEM), has been applied to the problem of optimizing tube structures of heat exchangers. In contrast t...

Metric-Preserving Reduction of Earth Mover's Distance
Earth mover's distance (EMD for short) is a perceptually meaningful dissimilarity measure between histograms. The computation of EMD reduces to a network flow optimization pro...
