We extend the resistance distance kernel to the domain of signed dissimilarity values, and show how it can be applied to collaborative rating prediction. The resistance distance is...
Determining similarity is a fundamental task in querying multimedia databases in a content-based way. For this challenging task, there exist numerous similarity models which measu...
Due to the lexical gap between questions and answers, automatically detecting right answers becomes very challenging for community question-answering sites. In this paper, we prop...
We examine whether the use of query operators changes the documents retrieved by three popular Web search engines. One hundred queries containing query operators were selected fro...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for multi-task learning with boosted decision trees. We learn several different learning tasks with a joint model, explicitly addressing...
