This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
In this paper, we show how Guided Local Search (GLS) can be applied to the SAT problem and show how the resulting algorithm can be naturally extended to solve the weighted MAX-SAT ...
The complexity of a reasoning task over a graphical model is tied to the induced width of the underlying graph. It is well-known that the conditioning (assigning values) on a subs...
We discuss information retrieval methods that aim at serving a diverse stream of user queries such as those submitted to commercial search engines. We propose methods that emphasi...
