Abstract. Query expansion is a well known method to improve the performance of information retrieval systems. In this work we have tested different approaches to extract the candid...
Given a probability distribution over a set of n words to be transmitted, the Huffman Coding problem is to find a minimal-cost prefix free code for transmitting those words. The b...
We develop and analyze M-estimation methods for divergence functionals and the likelihood ratios of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a non-asymptotic variatio...

We investigate unconditional security for message authentication protocols that are designed using two-channel cryptography. We look at both noninteractive message authentication ...
An m-sample semiparametric model in which the ratio of m - 1 probability density functions with respect to the mth is of a known parametric form without reference to any parametri...
