The Internet is full of information sources providing various types of data from weather forecasts to travel deals. These sources can be accessed via web-forms, Web Services or RS...
In this paper, we argue that the agglomerative clustering with vector cosine similarity measure performs poorly due to two reasons. First, the nearest neighbors of a document belo...
Planning in partially-observable dynamical systems (such as POMDPs and PSRs) is a computationally challenging task. Popular approximation techniques that have proved successful ar...

We present a new family of linear time algorithms based on sufficient statistics for string comparison with mismatches under the string kernels framework. Our algorithms improve t...
