This paper describes the National Research Council (NRC) Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) system, as applied to the English Lexical Sample (ELS) task in Senseval-3. The NRC system ...
The effect of quantization of prior probabilities in a collection of distributed Bayesian binary hypothesis testing problems over which the priors themselves vary is studied. In ...
We present an objective approach for evaluating probability elicitation methods in probabilistic models. Our method draws on ideas from research on learning Bayesian networks: if ...
Abstract-- In this paper, we are interested in wireless scheduling algorithms for the downlink of a single cell that can minimize the queue-overflow probability. Specifically, in a...
We analyse the kinematics of probabilistic term weights at retrieval time for di erent Information Retrieval models. We present four models based on di erent notions of probabilis...
