The automatic computation of features for content-based image retrieval still has difficulties to represent the concepts the user has in mind. Whenever an additional learning stra...
This paper explores the problem of how to construct lazy decision tree ensembles. We present and empirically evaluate a relevancebased boosting-style algorithm that builds a lazy ...
Current search technologies work in "one size fits all" fashion. Therefore, the answer to a query is independent of specific user information need. In this paper, we des...
This paper is an attempt to answer the following question: how much improvement can be obtained in logic decomposition by using Boolean divisors? Traditionally, the existence of t...
In this paper we compare four selection strategies in evolutionary optimization of information retrieval (IR) in a question answering setting. The IR index has been augmented by li...
