We apply a new active learning formulation to the problem of learning medical concepts from unstructured text. The new formulation is based on maximizing the mutual information th...
We hypothesize that the variance in volume of high-velocity queries over time can be explained by observing that these queries are formulated in response to events in the world tha...
Query expansion is a well-known technique that has been shown to improve average retrieval performance. This technique has not been used in many operational systems because of the...
Wireless sensor networks with multiple users collecting data directly from the sensors have many potential applications. An important problem is to allocate for each user a query r...
