We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
The Modularity-Q measure of community structure is known to falsely ascribe community structure to random graphs, at least when it is naively applied. Although Q is motivated by a ...
Opinion Question Answering (Opinion QA), which aims to find the authors' sentimental opinions on a specific target, is more challenging than traditional factbased question an...
Activity recognition is a key component for creating intelligent, multi-agent systems. Intrinsically, activity recognition is a temporal classification problem. In this paper, we...
