This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
: A novel support vector machine method for classification is presented in this paper. A modified kernel function based on the similarity metric and Riemannian metric is applied ...
In the reordering buffer problem, we are given an input sequence of requests for service each of which corresponds to a point in a metric space. The cost of serving the requests h...
We propose a registration algorithm based on successively refined quantization and an alignment metric derived from a minimal spanning tree entropy estimate. The metric favors edg...
We consider the problem of name-independent routing in doubling metrics. A doubling metric is a metric space whose doubling dimension is a constant, where the doubling dimension o...
