We construct a framework which allows an algorithm to turn the distributions produced by some boosting algorithms into polynomially smooth distributions (w.r.t. the PAC oracle...
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 ...
Supporting top-k queries over distributed collections of schemaless XML data poses two challenges. While XML supports expressive query languages such as XPath and XQuery, these la...
Classification of data with imbalanced class distribution has posed a significant drawback of the performance attainable by most standard classifier learning algorithms, which ...
For the use in the Internet domain, distributed hash tables (DHTs) have proven to be an efficient and scalable approach to distributed content storage and access. In this paper, ...
