Relevance information: a loss of entropy but a gain for IDF?
When investigating alternative estimates for term discriminativeness, we discovered that relevance information and idf are much closer related than formulated in classical literat...

On the Convergence of Bound Optimization Algorithms
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

Minimal Coverings of Maximal Partial Clones
A partial function f on an k-element set Ek is a partial Sheffer function if every partial function on Ek is definable in terms of f. Since this holds if and only if f belongs to...

Unsupervised Texture Segmentation with Nonparametric Neighborhood Statistics
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach to unsupervised texture segmentation that relies on a very general nonparametric statistical model of image neighborhoods. The method...

Job Sequencing with Exponential Functions of Processing Times
We study single machine scheduling problems, where processing times of the jobs are exponential functions of their start times. For increasing functions, we prove strong NP-hardnes...
