Abstract. Training data as well as supplementary data such as usagebased click behavior may abound in one search market (i.e., a particular region, domain, or language) and be much...
An indexing model is the heart of an Information Retrieval (IR) system. Data structures such as term based inverted indices have proved to be very effective for IR using vector sp...
Image annotations allow users to access a large image database with textual queries. There have been several studies on automatic image annotation utilizing machine learning techn...
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
This paper describes a shallow parsing formalism aiming at machine translation between closely related languages. The formalism allows to write grammar rules helping to (partially...
