This paper presents a syntax-driven approach to question answering, specifically the answer-sentence selection problem for short-answer questions. Rather than using syntactic fea...
We consider multi-armed bandit problems where the number of arms is larger than the possible number of experiments. We make a stochastic assumption on the mean-reward of a new sel...
We present a learning framework for structured support vector models in which boosting and bagging methods are used to construct ensemble models. We also propose a selection metho...
Selecting a small set of nodes called pivots, from all the nodes in a network and maintaining the routing infrastructure to and among each other can reduce routing overhead and ex...
When applying the 2-opt heuristic to the travelling salesman problem, selecting the best improvement at each iteration gives worse results on average than selecting the first impr...
