Search logs, which contain rich and up-to-date information about users' needs and preferences, have become a critical data source for search engines. Recently, more and more ...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Nearest neighbour (NN) searches and k nearest neighbour (k-NN) searches are widely used in pattern recognition and image retrieval. An NN (k-NN) search finds the closest object (...
We describe an algorithm for comparing two RNA secondary structures coded in the form of trees that introduces two novel operations, called node fusion and edge fusion, besides the...
State-space search methods in problem solving have often been illustrated using tree diagrams. We explore a set of issues related to coordination in collaborative problem solving a...
