Bootstrapping semantics from text is one of the greatest challenges in natural language learning. We first define a word similarity measure based on the distributional pattern of ...
This paper follows a formal approach to information retrieval based on statistical language models. By introducing some simple reformulations of the basic language modeling approa...
A new method of genetic evolution of linear and nonlinear evaluation functions in the game of checkers is presented. Several practical issues concerning application of genetic algo...
Empirical studies of information retrieval methods show that good retrieval performance is closely related to the use of various retrieval heuristics, such as TF-IDF weighting. On...
