In this paper we investigate how a small number of high-level concepts derived for video shots, such as Sports, Face, Indoor, etc., can be used effectively for ad hoc search in vi...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

Determining whether two DNA sequences are similar is an essential component of DNA sequence analysis. Dynamic programming is the algorithm of choice if computational time is not t...
Abstract--Resource discovery is a challenging issue in unstructured peer-to-peer networks. Blind search approaches, including flooding and random walks, are the two typical algorit...
