We present a new algorithm obtained by changing the search directions in the algorithm given in [8]. This algorithm is based on a new technique for finding the search direction and the strategy of the central path. At each iteration, we use only the full Nesterov-Todd (NT)step. Moreover, we obtain the currently best known iteration bound for the infeasible interior-point algorithms with full NT...

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the core of many companies: they contain entities which are the focus of enterprise searches [5]. In this paper, a model which exploits those entities to improve the search experience of enterprise users is proposed. Specifically, a graph knowledge base called entity graph is defined. It is used both to offer a novel data exploration experience tha...

Community search is a problem of finding densely connected subgraphs that satisfy the query conditions in a network, which has attracted much attention in recent years. However, all the previous studies on community search do not consider the influence of a community. In this paper, we introduce a novel community model called k-influential community based on the concept of k-core, which can cap...

Annually, web search engine providers spend more and more money on documents ranking in search engines result pages (SERP). Click models provide advantageous information for ranking documents in SERPs through modeling interactions among users and search engines. Here, three modules are employed to create a hybrid click model; the first module is a PGM-based click model, the second module in a d...

research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is...

the data set employed in this study was comprised of a number of 6,800 records of lamb’s longevity and their survival rate, collected from 1989 through 2009, from the lori-bakhtiari experimental flock at the shooli station in shahrekord, iran. the data were analyzed using linear models and proportional hazard models with weibull function. these models included fixed factors and direct additive ...

The previous methods for image search reranking suffer from the unreliability of the assumptions under which the initial text based image search result is employed in the reranking process. In our proposed system, prototype-based reranking method is suggested address this problem in scalable fashion. This typical assumption that the top-images in the text-based search result are equally relevan...
