Tabu Search -- Part I

by Fred Glover , 1989
"... This paper presents the fundamental principles underlying tabu search as a strategy for combinatorial optimization problems. Tabu search has achieved impressive practical successes in applications ranging from scheduling and computer channel balancing to cluster analysis and space planning, and more ..."

of computational experience for a variety of applications. Part I1 of this study (to appear in a subsequent issue) examines more advanced considerations, applying the basic ideas to special settings and outlining a dynamic move structure to insure finiteness. Part I1 also describes tabu search methods for solving

R-trees: A Dynamic Index Structure for Spatial Searching

by Antonin Guttman - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA , 1984
"... In order to handle spatial data efficiently, as required in computer aided design and geo-data applications, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve data items quickly according to their spatial locations However, traditional indexing methods are not well suited to data ..."

to data objects of non-zero size located m multi-dimensional spaces In this paper we describe a dynamic index structure called an R-tree which meets this need, and give algorithms for searching and updating it. We present the results of a series of tests which indicate that the structure performs well

Suffix arrays: A new method for on-line string searches

by Udi Manber, Gene Myers , 1991
"... A new and conceptually simple data structure, called a suffix array, for on-line string searches is intro-duced in this paper. Constructing and querying suffix arrays is reduced to a sort and search paradigm that employs novel algorithms. The main advantage of suffix arrays over suffix trees is that ..."

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 ..."

. These networks have been widely used for both prediction and classification in many different areas. Although the most popular method for training these networks is backpropagation, other optimization methods such as tabu search have been applied to solve this problem. This chapter describes two training

Adaptive floating search methods in feature selection

by P. Somol , P. Pudil , J. Novovicova , P. Paclik - PATTERN RECOGNITION LETTERS , 1999
"... A new suboptimal search strategy for feature selection is presented. It represents a more sophisticated version of "classical" floating search algorithms (Pudil et al., 1994), attempts to remove some of their potential deficiencies and facilitates finding a solution even closer to the opti ..."

M-tree: An Efficient Access Method for Similarity Search in Metric Spaces

by Paolo Ciaccia, Marco Patella, Pavel Zezula , 1997
"... A new access meth d, called M-tree, is proposed to organize and search large data sets from a generic "metric space", i.e. whE4 object proximity is only defined by a distance function satisfyingth positivity, symmetry, and triangle inequality postulates. We detail algorith[ for insertion o ..."

Efficient similarity search in sequence databases

by Rakesh Agrawal, Christos Faloutsos, Arun Swami , 1994
"... We propose an indexing method for time sequences for processing similarity queries. We use the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to map time sequences to the frequency domain, the crucial observation being that, for most sequences of practical interest, only the first few frequencies are strong. Anot ..."

the sequences and e ciently answer similarity queries. We provide experimental results which show that our method is superior to search based on sequential scanning. Our experiments show that a few coefficients (1-3) are adequate to provide good performance. The performance gain of our method increases

Costly search and mutual fund flows

by Erik R. Sirri, Peter Tufano - Journal of Finance , 1998
"... This paper studies the flows of funds into and out of equity mutual funds. Consumers base their fund purchase decisions on prior performance information, but do so asymmetrically, investing disproportionately more in funds that performed very well the prior period. Search costs seem to be an importa ..."

Multidimensional Access Methods

by Volker Gaede, Oliver Günther , 1998
"... Search operations in databases require special support at the physical level. This is true for conventional databases as well as spatial databases, where typical search operations include the point query (find all objects that contain a given search point) and the region query (find all objects that ..."

A New Method for Solving Hard Satisfiability Problems

by Bart Selman, Hector Levesque, David Mitchell - AAAI , 1992

Our experiments show that this procedure can be used to solve hard, randomly generated problems that are an order of magnitude larger than those that can be handled by more traditional approac ..."
