In this paper, a competition-based connectionist model for diagnostic problem-solving is adapted to information retrieval. In this model, we treat documents as \disorders" an...
We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
This paper is a contribution to the formalisation of Thagard’s coherence theory. The term coherence is defined as the quality or the state of cohering, especially a logical, ord...

—In this paper we consider the problem of maximizing wireless network capacity (a.k.a. one-shot scheduling) in both the protocol and physical models. We give the first distribut...
