We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...
In TREC-9, we participated in the English-Chinese Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) track. Our work involved two aspects: finding good methods for Chinese IR, and findin...

The transition from command-line interfaces to graphical interfaces has resulted in programs that are easier to learn and use, but harder to automate and reuse. Another transition...
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data. This method relies on the well known minimal description length (MDL) principle. The MDL ...
In this paper we examine a novel addition to the known methods for learning Bayesian networks from data that improves the quality of the learned networks. Our approach explicitly ...
