We study how to best use crowdsourced relevance judgments learning to rank [1, 7]. We integrate two lines of prior work: unreliable crowd-based binary annotation for binary classi...
We analyze and extend a recently proposed model of linguistic diffusion in social networks, to analytically derive time to convergence, and to account for the innovation phase of...
Abstract—Software systems are typically large and exhaustive testing of all possible input parameters is usually not feasible. Testers select tests that they anticipate may catch...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
