Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
Random forests are one of the best performing methods for constructing ensembles. They derive their strength from two aspects: using random subsamples of the training data (as in b...
This paper addresses the issue of text normalization, an important yet often overlooked problem in natural language processing. By text normalization, we mean converting ‘inform...

In this work we design a general method for proving moment inequalities for polynomials of independent random variables. Our method works for a wide range of random variables incl...
