This paper describes the Bar-Ilan system participating in the Recognising Textual Entailment Challenge. The paper proposes first a general probabilistic setting that formalizes th...
We build a probabilistic model to identify implicit local intent queries, and leverage user’s physical location to improve Web search results for these queries. Evaluation on co...
Many systems use past behavior, preferences and environmental factors to attempt to predict user navigation on the Internet. However we believe that many of these models have shor...
— This paper presents an architecture and algorithms for optimizing the performance of web services. For a given service, session-based admission control is combined with stage-w...
People display regularities in almost everything they do. This paper proposes characteristics of an idealized algorithm that would allow an automatic extraction of web user profil ...
