The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamentally important for creating better local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant...
Ranking search results is a fundamental problem in information retrieval. In this paper we explore whether the use of proximity and phrase information can improve web retrieval ac...
Recent studies suggest that the mammalian genomes can be subdivided in segments within which there is limited haplotype diversity. Understanding the distribution and structure of ...
