We develop, analyze, and test a training algorithm for support vector machine classifiers without offset. Key features of this algorithm are a new, statistically motivated stoppi...
Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and other related topic models are increasingly popular tools for summarization and manifold discovery in discrete data. However, LDA does not ca...
It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
