Handling large amounts of data, such as large image databases, requires the use of approximate nearest neighbor search techniques. Recently, Hamming embedding methods such as spec...
LAMA is a classical planning system based on heuristic forward search. Its core feature is the use of a pseudo-heuristic derived from landmarks, propositional formulas that must b...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
This paper presents a novel hybrid approach that combines state of the art fitting algorithms: algebraic-based and geometric-based. It consists of two steps; first, the 3L algorit...
M-tree is a dynamic access method suitable to index generic “metric spaces”, where the function used to compute the distance between any two objects satisfies the positivity, ...
