Relevance feedback, which traditionally uses the terms in the relevant documents to enrich the user's initial query, is an effective method for improving retrieval performanc...
We describe a machine learning approach for predicting sponsored search ad relevance. Our baseline model incorporates basic features of text overlap and we then extend the model t...

The issue of Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD) has attracted attention over the last decade for the sake of efficiency and accuracy of classifiers, and also to extract knowle...
The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
Two variable metric reinforcement learning methods, the natural actor-critic algorithm and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, are compared on a conceptual level a...
