Personalized Web search takes advantage of information about an individual to identify the most relevant results for that person. A challenge for personalization lies in collectin...
Max-margin Markov networks (M3 N) have shown great promise in structured prediction and relational learning. Due to the KKT conditions, the M3 N enjoys dual sparsity. However, the...
—We present an overview of the combinatorial framework for similarity search. An algorithm is combinatorial if only direct comparisons between two pairwise similarity values are ...
