This paper presents an original approach to modelling user’s information need in text filtering environment. This approach relies on a specific novelty detection model which a...
Abstract. Greedy machine learning algorithms suffer from shortsightedness, potentially returning suboptimal models due to limited exploration of the search space. Greedy search mis...
Abstract. This paper explores how to predict query difficulty for contextual image retrieval. We reformulate the problem as the task of predicting how difficult to represent a quer...
Different features have different relevance to a particular learning problem. Some features are less relevant; while some very important. Instead of selecting the most relevant fe...
Abstract. An important task in many scientific and engineering disciplines is to set up experiments with the goal of finding the best instances (substances, compositions, designs) ...
