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:...
This article presents a robust EDA for global optimization with real parameters. The approach is based on the linear combination of individuals of two populations. One is the curr...
Searching for images of people is an essential task for image and video search engines. However, current search engines have limited capabilities for this task since they rely on ...
A geometric approach is introduced to explain phenomena that can arise with Luce's choice axiom; e.g., differences occur when determining the likelihood of a ranking by start...
We propose a new unsupervised learning technique for extracting information about authors and topics from large text collections. We model documents as if they were generated by a...
