Abstract. Many tasks (e.g., search and summarization) result in an ordered list of items. In order to evaluate such an ordered list of items, we need to compare it with an ideal or...
The iterative method labelled Correlation-based Tuning (CbT) is considered in this paper for tuning linear time-invariant multivariable controllers. The approach allows one to tun...
In this paper we consider general rank minimization problems with rank appearing in either objective function or constraint. We first show that a class of matrix optimization prob...
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a data analysis technique for representing measurements of (dis)similarity among pairs of objects as distances between points in a low-dimensiona...
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...
