Dead Men Walking (Jack Reacher's Special Investigators)

“You do not mess with the special investigators.” Jack Reacher handpicked a group of the smartest, toughest and most fearless individuals in the Army’s 110th MP to form an elite unit which he called “The Special Investigators.” Those who were reckless or stupid enough to mess with Reacher’s unit were labeled “dead men walking.” Now, a deadly conspiracy has forced the special investigators to reunite, in the first book in an explosive new series, set in the Reacher universe by permission of Lee Child. FROM A USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR “This whiplash-inducing novel is filled with deadly intrigue, chilling murders, cold-hearted deceit and a twisting mystery that will keep you guessing to the last page. Hold on tight!” –R. Vuher, Amazon.com “Exciting and suspenseful. Highly recommended for anyone who likes action-packed, intelligent and pulse-pounding thrillers.” –B &N Thrilling Reads “Razor-sharp, nerve-wracking and wildly engrossing, this thriller is utterly addictive.” –FirstReads “Ames is a sensation among readers who love fast-paced thrillers.” –MysteryTribune

Clustering and Information Retrieval

Clustering is an important technique for discovering relatively dense sub-regions or sub-spaces of a multi-dimension data distribution. Clus tering has been used in information retrieval for many different purposes, such as query expansion, document grouping, document indexing, and visualization of search results. In this book, we address issues of cluster ing algorithms, evaluation methodologies, applications, and architectures for information retrieval. The first two chapters discuss clustering algorithms. The chapter from Baeza-Yates et al. describes a clustering method for a general metric space which is a common model of data relevant to information retrieval. The chapter by Guha, Rasto...

EVOLVE - A Bridge between Probability, Set Oriented Numerics, and Evolutionary Computation II

This book comprises a selection of papers from the EVOLVE 2012 held in Mexico City, Mexico. The aim of the EVOLVE is to build a bridge between probability, set oriented numerics and evolutionary computing, as to identify new common and challenging research aspects. The conference is also intended to foster a growing interest for robust and efficient methods with a sound theoretical background. EVOLVE is intended to unify theory-inspired methods and cutting-edge techniques ensuring performance guarantee factors. By gathering researchers with different backgrounds, a unified view and vocabulary can emerge where the theoretical advancements may echo in different domains. Summarizing, the EVOLVE focuses on challenging aspects arising at the passage from theory to new paradigms and aims to provide a unified view while raising questions related to reliability, performance guarantees and modeling. The papers of the EVOLVE 2012 make a contribution to this goal.
