Aggregate ranking tasks are those where documents are not the final ranking outcome, but instead an intermediary component. For instance, in expert search, a ranking of candidate ...
Support vector machines (SVMs) excel at two-class discriminative learning problems. They often outperform generative classifiers, especially those that use inaccurate generative m...
Within the field of pattern classification, the Fisher kernel is a powerful framework which combines the strengths of generative and discriminative approaches. The idea is to ch...
This paper proposes optimizations of the methods and parameters used in both mathematical approximation and hardware design for logarithmic number system (LNS) arithmetic. First, ...
: There are several models for the evolutionary process forming a species tree. We examine the Birth-and-Death model (BDM), the Proportional-to-Distinguishable Arrangements (PDA) m...
