We introduce factored language models (FLMs) and generalized parallel backoff (GPB). An FLM represents words as bundles of features (e.g., morphological classes, stems, data-drive...
Bona [6] studied the distribution of ascents, plateaux and descents in the class of Stirling permutations, introduced by Gessel and Stanley [14]. Recently, Janson [18] showed the c...
Abstract: We investigate the structure of model selection problems via the bias/variance decomposition. In particular, we characterize the essential structure of a model selection ...
In this paper, we develop a general model, called Latency-Rate servers (LR servers), for the analysis of traffic scheduling algorithms in broadband packet networks. The behavior of...
Query Personalization is the process of dynamically enhancing a query with related user preferences stored in a user profile with the aim of providing personalized answers. The un...
