String kernels which compare the set of all common substrings between two given strings have recently been proposed by Vishwanathan & Smola (2004). Surprisingly, these kernels...
This paper describes Pairwise Bisection: a nonparametric approach to optimizing a noisy function with few function evaluations. The algorithm uses nonparametric reasoning about si...
In this paper, the structural parameters of dysplasia formation in the epithelial tissue are estimated using a stochastic decomposition algorithm (SDM) by means of scattered light...
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
Taxonomies of the Web typically have hundreds of thousands of categories and skewed category distribution over documents. It is not clear whether existing text classification tech...
