Russian Doll Search (RDS) is a well-known algorithm for combinatorial optimization. In this paper we extend it from mono-objective to multi-objective optimization. We demonstrate ...
This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of topic familiarity on the assessment behaviour of online searchers. In particular we investigate the effect of topic famil...
The output of major WWW search engines was analyzed and the results led to some surprising observations about their stability. Twentyfive queries were issued repeatedly to the eng...
We study the number of subtrees on the fringe of random recursive trees and random binary search trees whose limit law is known to be either normal or Poisson or degenerate depend...
