This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
The application of genetic algorithms (GAs) to many optimization problems in organizations often results in good performance and high quality solutions. For successful and efficien...
