Although many variants of language models have been proposed for information retrieval, there are two related retrieval heuristics remaining “external” to the language modelin...
In recent years, there has been significant interest in development of ranking functions and efficient top-k retrieval algorithms to help users in ad-hoc search and retrieval in da...

Data dissemination in pervasive environments is often accomplished by on-demand broadcasting. The time critical nature of the data requests plays an important role in scheduling t...
In our prior work, we presented a highly effective local search based heuristic algorithm called the Largest Expanding Sweep Search (LESS) to solve the minimum energy broadcast (M...
In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environm...
