We consider the problem of computing efficient strategies for searching in trees. As a generalization of the classical binary search for ordered lists, suppose one wishes to find...
We study the approximability and inapproximability of finding identifying codes and locating-dominating codes of the minimum size. In general graphs, we show that it is possible ...
Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
Spoken dialogue management strategy optimization by means of Reinforcement Learning (RL) is now part of the state of the art. Yet, there is still a clear mismatch between the comp...
Given a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectangles, the Minimum-Length Corridor (MLC-R) problem consists of finding a corridor of least total length. A corridor is a set of ...
