This paper presents a new approach to identifying concepts expressed in a collection of email messages, and organizing them into an ontology or taxonomy for browsing. It incorpora...
Many machine learning methods have recently been applied to natural language processing tasks. Among them, the Winnow algorithm has been argued to be particularly suitable for NLP...
A new approach to evolutionary computation, called Learnable Evolution Model (LEM), has been applied to the problem of optimizing tube structures of heat exchangers. In contrast t...
We develop data structures for dynamic closest pair problems with arbitrary (not necessarily geometric) distance functions, based on a technique previously used by the author for ...
We divide a string into k segments, each with only one sort of symbols, so as to minimize the total number of exceptions. Motivations come from machine learning and data mining. F...
