Minimization of Classifier Construction Cost for Search Queries
Summary: Minimize classifier construction cost for search over massive item sets by selecting which classifiers to train under non-uniform costs. Proves NP-hard inapproximability; presents approximation algorithms with guarantees and an exact algorithm for a common special case, validated on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
