Result diversity is a topic of great importance as more facets of queries are discovered and users expect to find their desired facets in the first page of the results. However,...
We present a novel language-model-based approach to reranking an initially retrieved list so as to improve precision at top ranks. Our model integrates whole-document information ...
We provide a characterization of Horn cores for formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF) and, based on it, a novel algorithm for computing Horn cores of disjunctions of Horn CNFs ...
Motivated by recent applications of pushdown systems to computer security problems, we present an efficient algorithm for the reachability problem of alternating pushdown systems. ...
