Optimal Retrieval in Puzzle-Based Storage with Heuristic Search and Tabulation
Networks
Published: 2021 By: Ariel Rosenfeld
In this work, we formulate a highly generic optimal retrieval problem, consisting of any number of loads to be retrieved, and an arbitrary number of I/O points and empty locations (escorts) on a two-dimensional lattice graph. We theoretically analyze the characteristics of the problem and propose a set of graph search algorithms to tackle the inherent complexities thereof.

Supporting Users in Finding Successful Matches in Reciprocal Recommender Systems
User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (UMUAI)
Published: 2020 By: Akiva Kleinerman, Ariel Rosenfeld, Sarit Kraus and Francesco Ricci.
Generating successful recommendations in such systems is challenging as the system must balance two objectives: (1) recommending users with whom the recommendation receiver is likely to initiate an interaction and (2) recommending users who are likely to reply positively to the recommendation receiver initiated interaction. Unfortunately, these objectives are partially conflicting…
