Improving the Robustness of Language Models - UIUC TREC 2003 Robust and Genomics Experiments
In this paper, we report our experiments in the TREC 2003 Genomics Track and the Robust Track. A common theme that we explored is the robustness of a basic language modeling retri...

A proximal center-based decomposition method for multi-agent convex optimization
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...

Robust Query-Specific Pseudo Feedback Document Selection for Query Expansion
In document retrieval using pseudo relevance feedback, after initial ranking, a fixed number of top-ranked documents are selected as feedback to build a new expansion query model. ...

Robust adaptive beamforming using sequential quadratic programming
In this paper, a new algorithm for robust adaptive beamforming is developed. The basic idea of the proposed algorithm is to estimate the difference between the actual and presumed...

Counting Twig Matches in a Tree
We describe efficient algorithms for accurately estimating the number of matches of a small node-labeled tree, i.e., a twig, in a large node-labeled tree, using a summary data str...
