We use Wikipedia articles to semantically inform the generation of query models. To this end, we apply supervised machine learning to automatically link queries to Wikipedia artic...
This paper presents a new pooling method for constructing the assessment sets used in the evaluation of retrieval systems. Our proposal is based on RankBoost, a machine learning v...
Magic Square is a ppeer-to-peer protocol for searching resources. The recovery cost of Magic Square is high and the system doesn’t recover the failure in simultaneous neighbor n...
Component Based Development aims at constructing software through the inter-relationship between pre-existing components. However, these components should be bound to a specific a...
Multi-objective genetic algorithms have been often used to optimize classification systems, but little is discussed on their computational cost to solve such problems. This paper ...
