Predicting UNIX Command Lines: Adjusting to User Patterns
As every user has his own idiosyncrasies and preferences, an interface that is honed for one user may be problematic for another. To accommodate a diverse range of users, many com...

Divide-and-Conquer Frontier Search Applied to Optimal Sequence Alignment
We present a new algorithm that reduces the space complexity of heuristic search. It is most effective for problem spaces that grow polynomially with problem size, but contain lar...
