We present a novel passage-based approach to re-ranking documents in an initially retrieved list so as to improve precision at top ranks. While most work on passage-based document...
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

In this paper we introduce a new notion of collective tree spanners. We say that a graph G = (V, E) admits a system of µ collective additive tree r-spanners if there is a system T...
We prove new results on evasiveness of monotone graph properties by extending the techniques of Kahn, Saks, and Sturtevant [Combinatorica, 4 (1984), pp. 297–306]. For the propert...
We discuss the problem of learning to rank labels from a real valued feedback associated with each label. We cast the feedback as a preferences graph where the nodes of the graph ...
