Three methods are proposed to classify queries by intent (CQI), e.g., navigational, informational, commercial, etc. Following mixed-initiative dialog systems, search engines shoul...
This paper presents a simple mathematical analysis of some features of the Harmony Search algorithm (HS). HS is a recently developed derivative-free optimization algorithm, which ...
— Designing algorithms for multi-robot systems can be a complex and difficult process: the cost of such systems can be very high, collecting experimental data can be timeconsumi...
The popularity of peer-to-peer search networks continues to grow, even as the limitations to the scalability of existing systems become apparent. We propose a simple model for sear...
In order to cope efficiently with simple or complex queries as well as different application requirements (e.g., ad-hoc versus repetitive queries), a query optimizer ought to supp...
