Abstract-- In recent years, uncertain data management applications have grown in importance because of the large number of hardware applications which measure data approximately. F...
We present here some applications of the Minimum Message Length (MML) principle to spatially correlated data. Discrete valued Markov Random Fields are used to model spatial correl...
Distributed hash tables (DHTs) are very efficient for querying based on key lookups. However, building huge term indexes, as required for IR-style keyword search, poses a scalabil...

We systematically compare five representative state-of-theart methods for estimating query language models with pseudo feedback in ad hoc information retrieval, including two var...
We present a novel passage-based approach to re-ranking documents in an initially retrieved list so as to improve precision at top ranks. While most work on passage-based document...
