It has been widely observed that search queries are composed in a very different style from that of the body or the title of a document. Many techniques explicitly accounting for...
We observe two deficiencies of current query processing and scheduling techniques for sensor networks: (1) A query execution plan does not adapt to the hardware characteristics o...
Active learning is well-suited to many problems in natural language processing, where unlabeled data may be abundant but annotation is slow and expensive. This paper aims to shed ...
