Feature selection is a critical procedure in many pattern recognition applications. There are two distinct mechanisms for feature selection namely the wrapper methods and the filter methods. The filter methods are generally considered inferior to wrapper methods, however wrapper methods are computationally more demanding than filter methods. A novel filter feature selection method based on mutu...

We describe a procedure that takes a classical planning task, a forward-search state, and a set of abstraction-based admissible heuristics, and derives an optimal additive composition of these heuristics with respect to the given state. Most importantly, we show that this procedure is polynomial-time for arbitrary sets of all known to us abstraction-based heuristics such as PDBs, constrained PD...

This paper presents an effective procedure for solving the job shop problem. Synergistically combining small and large neighborhood schemes, the procedure consists of four components, namely (i) a construction method for generating semi-active schedules by a forward-backward mechanism, (ii) a local search for manipulating a small neighborhood structure guided by a tabu list, (iii) a feedback-ba...

In this study, we calculate the sensitivity reach on vector leptoquark (LQ) $U_1$ at experiments proposed in Forward Physics Facility (FPF), including FASER$\nu$, FASER$\nu2$, FLArE (10 tons), and (100 tons) using neutrino-nucleon scattering ($\nu N \rightarrow \nu N'$ $\nu l N'$). We cover a wide mass range of $10^{-3}$ GeV $\leq M_{LQ}\leq 10^4$ GeV. The new result shows that offers best to L...

Pure feature selection, where variables are chosen or not to be in the training data set, still remains as an unsolved problem, especially when the dimensionality is high. Recently, the Forward-Backward Search algorithm using the Delta Test to evaluate a possible solution was presented, showing a good performance. However, due to the locality of the search procedure, the initial starting point ...

Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has been widely applied in the encrypted database for queries practice. Although SSE is powerful and feature-rich, it always plagued by information leaks. Some recent attacks point out that forward privacy which disallows leakage from update operations, now becomes a basic requirement any newly designed schemes. However, subsequent search operations can sti...
