Statistical language modeling (SLM) has been used in many different domains for decades and has also been applied to information retrieval (IR) recently. Documents retrieved using...
The fully informed particle swarm optimization algorithm (FIPS) is very sensitive to changes in the population topology. The velocity update rule used in FIPS considers all the ne...
A new learning algorithmis derived which performs online stochastic gradient ascent in the mutual informationbetween outputs and inputs of a network. In the absence of a priori kn...
: In this paper one proposes a simple algorithm of combining the fusion rules, those rules which first use the conjunctive rule and then the transfer of conflicting mass to the non...
Learning a good ranking function plays a key role for many applications including the task of (multimedia) information retrieval. While there are a few rank learning methods availa...
