Clique relaxation problems are important extension versions of the maximum clique problem with extensive real-world applications. Although lots of studies focus on designing local search algorithms ...

Earlier this month we covered a report from Sterling Sky that said the Google Local search ranking algorithm now uses if a location is open as part of its local ranking system. Google's Search Liaison ...

Google may have also pushed out a local search and map algorithm and ranking update over the past week or so. There has been some recent chatter and the Bright Local RankFlux tool has been off the ...

Google recently updated its local search ranking algorithm to strengthen its “openness” signal for non-navigational queries. “We’ve long used ‘openness’ as part of our local ranking systems, and it ...

Local search method is a rising star for solving combinatorial optimization problems in recent years, and many state-of-the-art local search-based incomplete Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) solvers ...
