The knapsack problem (KP) is generalized to the case where items are partially ordered through a set of precedence relations. As in ordinary KPs, each item is associated with proï...
An algorithm for automatic modelling of wavelet coefficients from context properties is presented. The algorithm is used to implement an image coder, in order to demonstrate its i...
In order to index Web images, the whole associated texts are partitioned into a sequence of text blocks, then the local relevance of a term to the corresponding image is calculated...
There has been considerable work on determining a suitable method to accomplish a satisfactory ordering of a group of objects, when there are multiple evaluation criteria. A weigh...
