We present a new method for information retrieval using hidden Markov models HMMs and relate our experience with this system on the TREC-7 ad hoc task. We develop a general framew...
This paper presents a new discriminative model for information retrieval (IR), referred to as linear discriminant model (LDM), which provides a flexible framework to incorporate a...
This paper describes a new approach to programming autonomic systems. Autonomic functions are integrated into element objects at design time using a special language called JSpoon...
