TABU SEARCH

by Fred Glover, Rafael Marti
"... Tabu Search is a metaheuristic that guides a local heuristic search procedure to explore the solution space beyond local optimality. One of the main components of tabu search is its use of adaptive memory, which creates a more flexible search behavior. Memory based strategies are therefore the hallm ..."

algorithms based on the tabu search. The experimentation shows that the procedures provide high quality solutions to the training problem, and in addition consume a reasonable computational effort.

Optimizing Search Engines using Clickthrough Data

by Thorsten Joachims , 2002
"... This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system should present relevant documents high in the ranking, with less relevant documents following below. While previous approaches ..."

Hidden Markov models in computational biology: applications to protein modeling

by Anders Krogh, Michael Brown, I. Saira Mian, Kimmen Sjölander, David Haussler - JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY , 1994
"... Hidden.Markov Models (HMMs) are applied t.0 the problems of statistical modeling, database searching and multiple sequence alignment of protein families and protein domains. These methods are demonstrated the on globin family, the protein kinase catalytic domain, and the EF-hand calcium binding moti ..."

Fast texture synthesis using tree-structured vector quantization

by Li-yi Wei, Marc Levoy , 2000
"... Figure 1: Our texture generation process takes an example texture patch (left) and a random noise (middle) as input, and modifies this random noise to make it look like the given example texture. The synthesized texture (right) can be of arbitrary size, and is perceived as very similar to the given ..."

and capable of generating high quality results. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for realistic texture synthesis. The algorithm is easy to use and requires only a sample texture as input. It generates textures with perceived quality equal to or better than those produced by previous techniques

Mega: molecular evolutionary genetic analysis software for microcomputers

by Sudhir Kumar, Koichiro Tamura, Masatoshi Nei - CABIOS , 1994
"... A computer program package called MEGA has been developed for estimating evolutionary distances, reconstructing phylogenetic trees and computing basic statistical quantities from molecular data. It is written in C+ + and is intended to be used on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers. In this pr ..."
Abstract - Cited by 505 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart
, new algorithms of branch-and-bound and heuristic searches are implemented. In addition, MEGA computes statistical quantities such as nucleotide and amino acid frequencies, transition/transversion biases, codon frequencies (codon usage tables), and the number of variable sites in specified segments

Tabu Search -- Part II

by Fred Glover , 1990
"... This is the second half of a two part series devoted to the tabu search metastrategy for optimization problems. Part I introduced the fundamental ideas of tabu search as an approach for guiding other heuristics to overcome the limitations of local optimality, both in a deterministic and a probabilis ..."

probabilistic framework. Part I also reported successful applications from a wide range of settings, in which tabu search frequently made it possible to obtain higher quality solutions than previously obtained with competing strategies, generally with less computational effort. Part 11, in this issue, examines

Regulatory Framework of Job Search Quality

by unknown authors
"... seeking is an important aspect throughout people’s careers. Extant theory and research has focused on one particular dimension of job search, that is, intensity/effort (i.e., job search quantity), posing that intensity/effort importantly affects employment success. The present conceptual paper exten ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
extends job search theory by arguing for the importance of job search quality in explaining job search and employment success. We conceptualize job search quality as consisting of process quality and product/behavior quality, and propose that high-quality job search products/behaviors are more likely

Mining the Peanut Gallery: Opinion Extraction and Semantic Classification of Product Reviews

by Kushal Dave, Steve Lawrence, David M. Pennock , 2003
"... The web contains a wealth of product reviews, but sifting through them is a daunting task. Ideally, an opinion mining tool would process a set of search results for a given item, generating a list of product attributes (quality, features, etc.) and aggregating opinions about each of them (poor, mixe ..."

Enhanced hypertext categorization using hyperlinks

by Soumen Chakrabarti, Byron Dom, Piotr Indyk , 1998
"... A major challenge in indexing unstructured hypertext databases is to automatically extract meta-data that enables structured search using topic taxonomies, circumvents keyword ambiguity, and improves the quality of search and profile-based routing and filtering. Therefore, an accurate classifier is ..."

Coverage Problems in Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Networks

by Seapahn Meguerdichian, Farinaz Koushanfar, Miodrag Potkonjak, Mani B. Srivastava - in IEEE INFOCOM , 2001
"... Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently emerged as a premier research topic. They have great longterm economic potential, ability to transform our lives, and pose many new system-building challenges. Sensor networks also pose a number of new conceptual and optimization problems. Some, such as ..."

, such as location, deployment, and tracking, are fundamental issues, in that many applications rely on them for needed information. In this paper, we address one of the fundamental problems, namely coverage. Coverage in general, answers the questions about quality of service (surveillance) that can be provided
