Pseudo-relevance feedback is an effective technique for improving retrieval results. Traditional feedback algorithms use a whole feedback document as a unit to extract words for ...
Recent research in automated learning has focused on algorithms that learn from a combination of tagged and untagged data. Such algorithms can be referred to as semi-supervised in...
: In this paper, a novel approach to the problem of estimating the heavy–tail exponent α > 0 of a distribution is proposed. It is based on the fact that block–maxima of siz...
