Recently direct optimization of information retrieval (IR) measures becomes a new trend in learning to rank. Several methods have been proposed and the effectiveness of them has ...
In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
This paper presents a new conceptual framework for summarization that considers the relationship between entities, device properties and user information needs. We summarize using...
This paper presents COBRA (Continuous Binary ReAdaptation), a runtime binary optimization framework, for multithreaded applications. It is currently implemented on Itanium 2 based...
In this paper we rigorously prove the validity of the cavity method for the problem of counting the number of matchings in graphs with large girth. Cavity method is an important he...
