Heuristic search effectiveness depends directly upon the quality of heuristic evaluations of states in the search space. We show why ordinal correlation is relevant to heuristic se...
: Despite the efforts to reduce the semantic gap between user perception of similarity and featurebased representation of images, user interaction is essential to improve retrieval...
— A central challenging problem in humanoid robotics is to plan and execute dynamic tasks in dynamic environments. Given that the environment is known, sampling-based online moti...
Diversity has been heavily motivated in the information retrieval literature as an objective criterion for result sets in search and recommender systems. Perhaps one of the most w...
In this paper, we report our experiments in the TREC 2008 Relevance Feedback Track. Our main goal is to study a novel problem in feedback, i.e., optimization of the balance of the...
