Let C be a code of length n over an alphabet of size q. A word d is a descendant of a pair of codewords x, y C if di {xi, yi} for 1 i n. A code C is an identifiable parent prop...
We describe and analyze a simple and effective iterative algorithm for solving the optimization problem cast by Support Vector Machines (SVM). Our method alternates between stocha...
The problem of extracting a minimal number of data points from a large dataset, in order to generate a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, is formulated as a concave minimiza...
This paper describes our participation in the 2008 TREC Blog track. Our system consists of 3 components: data preprocessing, topic retrieval, and opinion finding. In the topic ret...
