Which algorithms do I need to look into?

This just comes to my mind as I was working with a different problem. When I came back I realized that Falk Huffner has already mentioned the tip. Anyway, no more fingering, one can show the reductio …

Find points whose pairwise distances approximate a given distance matrix

There seems to be a very simple solution here. (edited) Set the coordinates of each point to be (x_i, y_i, z_i) Form a system of quadratic equations according to the distance matrix. For each equatio …

I hope this has a proof built into itself. The main idea is to delay the meeting of 2 teammates as much as possible. So a greedy algorithm would work. The most we can delay is in the final, then sem …

NLP - Queries using semantic wildcards in full text searching, maybe with Lucene?

As you use the terms NP and VP, I think you are talking about syntactic, not semantic. There are differences between the two. You can check out dependency grammar to see how it is different from CFG s …
