We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
Term-weighting functions derived from various models of retrieval aim to model human notions of relevance more accurately. However, there is a lack of analysis of the sources of e...
Abstract--A hybrid MPI/Pthreads parallelization was implemented in the RAxML phylogenetics code. New MPI code was added to the existing Pthreads production code to exploit parallel...
We consider the problem of finding a ranking of a set of elements that is "closest to" a given set of input rankings of the elements; more precisely, we want to find a p...
In familiar design domains, expert designers are able to quickly focus on “good designs”, based on constraints they have learned while exploring the design space. This ability ...
