: In recent years the fusion of multimedia information from multiple real-time sources and databases has become increasingly important because of its practical significance in many...
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...
This paper describes and analyzes sporadic model building, which can be used to enhance the efficiency of the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) and other advance...
In a recent paper, we proposed adding a STOP AFTER clause to SQL to permit the cardinality of a query result to be explicitly limited by query writers and query tools. We demonstr...
Data mining is an interactive and iterative process. Users issue series of similar queries until they receive satisfying results, yet currently available data mining systems do not...
