No search engine is perfect. A typical type of imperfection is the preference misalignment between search engines and end users, e.g., from time to time, web users skip higherrank...
This paper describes a method for improving the final accuracy and the convergence speed of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by adapting its inertia factor in the velocity updati...
This paper presents a novel approach for using clickthrough data to learn ranked retrieval functions for web search results. We observe that users searching the web often perform ...
In this paper we derive differential equations for evolving radial basis functions (RBFs) to solve segmentation problems. The differential equations result from applying variation...
