Among the retrieval models that have been proposed in the last years, the ESA model of Gabrilovich and Markovitch received much attention. The authors report on a significant imp...
In the area of Text Retrieval, processing a query in the vector model has been verified to be qualitatively more effective than searching in the boolean model. However, in case o...
Abstract. Computing tight performance bounds in feed-forward networks under general assumptions about arrival and server models has turned out to be a challenging problem. Recently...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
