Although information retrieval research has always been concerned with improving the effectiveness of search, in some applications, such as information analysis, a more specific ...
We consider hypotheses about nondeterministic computation that have been studied in different contexts and shown to have interesting consequences: • The measure hypothesis: NP d...
Genetic Algorithms provide computational procedures that are modeled on natural genetic system mechanics, whereby a coded solution is “evolved” from a set of potential solutio...
Passage retrieval is an important component common to many question answering systems. Because most evaluations of question answering systems focus on end-to-end performance, comp...
