A number of algorithms have been proposed aimed at tackling the problem of learning "Gene Linkage" within the context of genetic optimisation, that is to say, the problem...
The Web can be naturally modeled as a directed graph, consisting of a set of abstract nodes (the pages) joined by directional edges (the hyperlinks). Hyperlinks encode a considerab...
We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
Term-weighting functions derived from various models of retrieval aim to model human notions of relevance more accurately. However, there is a lack of analysis of the sources of e...
Decision procedures have long been a fixture in program analysis, and reasoning about string constraints is a key element in many program analyses and testing frameworks. Recent ...
