The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-con...
This paper investigates cluster formation in decentralized sensor grids and focusses on predicting when the cluster formation converges to a stable configuration. The traffic volum...
The maximum rank correlation (MRC) estimator was originally studied by Han [1987. Nonparametric analysis of a generalized regression model. J. Econometrics 35, 303–316] and Sher...
Methods based on 1-relaxation, such as basis pursuit and the Lasso, are very popular for sparse regression in high dimensions. The conditions for success of these methods are now ...
This paper provides evidence for Genzel and Charniak's (2002) entropy rate principle, which predicts that the entropy of a sentence increases with its position in the text. W...
