This paper experimentally investigates the dynamical behavior of a search process in a local heuristic search system for a combinatorial optimization problem. Or-opt heuristic algo...
This paper describes a method of extracting katakana words and phrases, along with their English counterparts from non-aligned monolingual web search engine query logs. The method...
We have analyzed system rankings for person name search algorithms using a data set for which several versions of ground truth were developed by employing different means of resol...
Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensiļ¬cation. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...
