The search problem, ACCESSIBILITY, asks whether a finite sequence of events can be found such that, starting with a specific initial event, a particular state can be reached. This...
Event semantics in general and event type coercion in particular have been a challenging yet rewarding topic in verbal semantics (Pustejovsky, 1995). However, there have been few ...
Importance sampling (IS) is the most widely used efficiency improvement method for rare-event simulation. When estimating the probability of a rare event, the IS estimator is the ...
Recently, Portfolio Theory (PT) has been proposed for Information Retrieval. However, under non-trivial conditions PT violates the original Probability Ranking Principle (PRP). In...

This paper introduces a simple and very general theory of compressive sensing. In this theory, the sensing mechanism simply selects sensing vectors independently at random from a ...
