This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
In this paper we present a simple to implement truly online large margin version of the Perceptron ranking (PRank) algorithm, called the OAP-BPM (Online Aggregate Prank-Bayes Poin...
To improve search efficiency and reduce unnecessary traffic in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks, this paper proposes a trust-based probabilistic search algorithm, called preferential wa...
Process variations in modern VLSI technologies are growing in both magnitude and dimensionality. To assess performance variability, complex simulation and performance models param...
As the ease of accessing and generating large quantities of information increases, people’s ability to navigate through that information and maintain personal perspective decrea...
