Dealing with verbose (or long) queries poses a new challenge for information retrieval. Selecting a subset of the original query (a "sub-query") has been shown to be an ...
Determining whether two terms in text have an ancestor relation (e.g. Toyota and car) or a sibling relation (e.g. Toyota and Honda) is an essential component of textual inference ...
Understanding the dynamics of bodies of water and their impact on the global environment requires sensing information over the full volume of water. We develop a gradientbased dec...

Belief propagation is a popular global optimization technique for many computer vision problems. However, it requires extensive computation due to the iterative message passing op...
We introduce a novel bilinear boosting algorithm, which extends the multi-class boosting framework of JointBoost to optimize a bilinear objective function. This allows style param...
