The asymptotic distribution of estimates that are based on a sub-optimal search for the maximum of the log-likelihood function is considered. In particular, estimation schemes that...
For many years it has been commonly held that a user who adds structural “hints” to a query will improve precision in an element retrieval search. At INEX 2005 we conducted an...
In the Trading Agent Competition Ad Auctions Game, agents compete to sell products by bidding to have their ads shown in a search engine's sponsored search results. We report...
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
— We target M-ary data sequence estimation over time-variant frequency selective fading channels subject to cochannel interference (CCI). A novel joint reduced state sequence est...
