This paper describes improvements in a search error risk minimization approach to fast beam search for speech recognition. In our previous work, we proposed this approach to reduc...
Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
Commercial search engines, especially meta-search engines was designed to retrieve the information by submitting users' queries to multiple conventional search engines and in...
The most well known search techniques are perhaps the PageRank and HITS algorithms. In this paper we argue that these algorithms miss an important dimension, the temporal dimensio...
Many important search tasks require multiple search sessions to complete. Tasks such as travel planning, large purchases, or job searches can span hours, days, or even weeks. Inev...
