Abstract. The Bayesian approach to machine learning amounts to inferring posterior distributions of random variables from a probabilistic model of how the variables are related (th...
Despite the widespread use of BM25, there have been few studies examining its effectiveness on a document description over single and multiple field combinations. We determine t...
– The visualization of support vector machines in realistic settings is a difficult problem due to the high dimensionality of the typical datasets involved. However, such visuali...
This paper describes a hybrid model that combines machine learning with linguistic heuristics for integrating unknown word identification with Chinese word segmentation. The model...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
