The Quantum Probability Ranking Principle (QPRP) has been recently proposed, and accounts for interdependent document relevance when ranking. However, to be instantiated, the QPRP...
In this paper, we propose an approximation of the relative phase probability function (RP pdf) and use it to find a non-iterative estimator for the concentration parameter of the...
Abstract--Suppose for a given classification or function approximation (FA) problem data are collected using sensors. From the output of the th sensor, features are extracted, ther...
We investigate the diameter problem in the streaming and slidingwindow models. We show that, for a stream of n points or a sliding window of size n, any exact algorithm for diamet...
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
