We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Proximity searching consists in retrieving from a database, objects that are close to a query. For this type of searching problem, the most general model is the metric space, where...
There has been a great amount of work on query-independent summarization of documents. However, due to the success of Web search engines query-specific document summarization (que...
We consider the problem of static transmission-power assignment for lifetime maximization of a wireless sensor network with stationary nodes operating in a data-gathering scenario...
