We assess a family of ranking mechanisms for search engines based on linkage analysis using a carefully engineered subset of the World Wide Web, WT10g (Bailey, Craswell and Hawking...
Standard inductive learning requires that training and test instances come from the same distribution. Transfer learning seeks to remove this restriction. In shallow transfer, tes...
A pattern is a finite string of constant and variable symbols. The erasing language generated by a pattern p is the set of all strings that can be obtained by substituting (possib...
Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...
