Abstract. As retrieval systems become more complex, learning to rank approaches are being developed to automatically tune their parameters. Using online learning to rank approaches...
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...
Naive Bayes has been widely used in data mining as a simple and effective classification algorithm. Since its conditional independence assumption is rarely true, numerous algorit...

Abstract. In text classification (TC) and other tasks involving supervised learning, labelled data may be scarce or expensive to obtain; strategies are thus needed for maximizing t...
