Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
Abstract. There is a variety of methods for ranking objectives in multiobjective optimization and some are difficult to define because they require information a priori (e.g. esta...
This paper experimentally investigates the dynamical behavior of a search process in a local heuristic search system for a combinatorial optimization problem. Or-opt heuristic algo...
: The success of sponsored search has radically affected how people interact with the information, websites, and services on the web. Sponsored search provides the necessary revenu...
Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) have long been concentrating on adaptive guidance of links between domain concepts. Here we show parallels between navigation and linking in adap...
Search engine researchers typically depict search as the solitary activity of an individual searcher. In contrast, results from our critical-incident survey of 150 users on Amazon...
Active statistical models including active shape models and active appearance models are very powerful for face alignment. They are composed of two parts: the subspace model(s) an...
Recent dynamic local search (DLS) algorithms such as SAPS are amongst the state-of-the-art methods for solving the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). DLS algorithms modi...
It is a hard problem to understand the search process of particle swarm optimization over high-dimensional domain. The visualization depicts the total search process and then it w...
— Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) has attracted much interest because of its wide applications in the real world. Recently, a memetic algorithm proposed by Lacomme et al. ...
