The cognitively motivated principle of polyrepresentation still lacks a theoretical foundation in IR. In this work, we discuss two competing polyrepresentation frameworks that are ...
Due to many unique characteristics of forum data, forum post retrieval is different from traditional document retrieval and web search, raising interesting research questions abou...
The existence of optimal algorithms is not known for any decision problem in NP \ P. We consider the problem of testing the membership in the image of an injective function. We co...

We show that two complexity classes introduced about two decades ago are equal. ReachUL is the class of problems decided by nondeterministic log-space machines which on every inpu...
