Let f : {0, 1}n {0, 1} be a boolean function. For 0 let D (f) be the minimum depth of a decision tree for f that makes an error for fraction of the inputs x {0, 1}n . We also ma...
We present an overview of the Jahob system for modular analysis of data structure properties. Jahob uses a subset of Java as the implementation language and annotations with formu...
The focus of research in text classification has expanded from simple topic identification to more challenging tasks such as opinion/modality identification. Unfortunately, the la...
