We show that for several classes of idempotent semirings the least fixed-point of a polynomial system of equations X = f(X) is equal to the least fixed-point of a linear system obt...

We propose a novel boosting algorithm which improves on current algorithms for weighted voting classification by striking a better balance between classification accuracy and the ...
This paper is concerned with the generalization ability of learning to rank algorithms for information retrieval (IR). We point out that the key for addressing the learning proble...
