Ranking search results is a fundamental problem in information retrieval. In this paper we explore whether the use of proximity and phrase information can improve web retrieval ac...
Let C be a class of distributions over {0, 1}n . A deterministic randomness extractor for C is a function E : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m such that for any X in C the distribution E(X) is sta...
Abstract. In this paper we present a general framework for constructing efficient multicast cryptosystems with provable security and show that a line of previous work on multicast ...
One problem faced in knowledge engineering for Bayesian networks is the exponential growth of the number of parameters in their conditional probability tables (CPTs). The most comm...
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population-based optimization method in which search points employ a cooperative strategy to move toward one another. In this paper we show ...
