We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...
Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
General-purpose ontologies (e.g. WordNet) are convenient, but they are not always scientifically valid. We draw on techniques from semantic class learning to improve the scientific...
