Most network engineering tools are unsatisfactory. Measurements are not predictive, simulations do not scale, and analysis is limited to oversimplified models. To be more useful, ...
We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
Although engineering models of user behavior have enjoyed a rich history in HCI, they have yet to have a widespread impact due to the complexities of the modeling process. In this...

Analysis of network and application pegormance is traditionally based on mathematical models derived from first principles. Such models are usually complex, diflcult to use, and d...
Query performance predictors are commonly evaluated by reporting correlation coefficients to denote how well the methods perform at predicting the retrieval performance of a set of...
