An Effective Approach to Verbose Queries Using a Limited Dependencies Language Model
Intuitively, any `bag of words' approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies ...

An Analysis of Search Engine Switching Behavior Using Click Streams
In this paper, we propose a simple framework to characterize the switching behavior between search engines based on click streams. We segment users into a number of categories bas...

Transient analysis of tree-Like processes and its application to random access systems
A new methodology to assess transient performance measures of tree-like processes is proposed by introducing the concept of tree-like processes with marked time epochs. As opposed...

Packet level performance analysis in wireless user-relaying networks
In this paper, the impact of user relaying on the behavior of a relay node, which acts as the source node at the same time, is analyzed in a wireless relay network at the packet le...

Estimating the probability of a rare event over a finite time horizon
We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...
