Some of the most successful algorithms for satisfiability, such as Walksat, are based on random walks. Similarly, local search algorithms for solving constraint optimization proble...
This paper presents an optimized Hill Climbing algorithm to select a subset of features for handwritten character recognition. The search is conducted taking into account a random ...

Dealing with verbose (or long) queries poses a new challenge for information retrieval. Selecting a subset of the original query (a "sub-query") has been shown to be an ...
Abstract. In this paper, we review some classical recombination operations and devise new heuristic recombinations for the fixed-length subset. Our experimental results on the cla...
