A key component of BM25 contributing to its success is its sub-linear term frequency (TF) normalization formula. The scale and shape of this TF normalization component is controll...
This discussion presents a new perspective of subspace independent component analysis (ICA). The notion of a function of cumulants (kurtosis) is generalized to vector kurtosis. Th...
In self-adaptive systems components are dynamically modified according to the execution environment requirement, where each component is a probable point of failure. Existing appr...
We study the cover time of a random walk on the largest component of the random graph Gn,p. We determine its value up to a factor 1 + o(1) whenever np = c > 1, c = O(ln n). In ...
Anecdotal experience constructing proofs of correctness of code built from reusable software components reveals that they tend to be relatively trivial bookkeeping exercises: they ...
