This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for learning the user profile. The user profile is learned incrementally and continuously based on user’s initial profile, his actions ...
In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...
This paper presents an application of Boosting for classifying labeled graphs, general structures for modeling a number of real-world data, such as chemical compounds, natural lan...
We address a longstanding open problem of [11, 10], and present a general transformation that transforms any pointer based data structure to be confluently persistent. Such transf...
For TREC-10, we participated in the adhoc and manual web tracks and in both the site-finding and cross-lingual tracks. For the adhoc track, we did extensive calibrations and learn...
