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...
Abstract. The existing Web service management solutions are almost exclusively focused on optimization of technical QoS metrics (e.g., availability). However, financial (e.g., prof...
Out of vocabulary (OOV) words are problematic for cross language information retrieval. One way to deal with OOV words when the two languages have different alphabets, is to trans...
We present an algorithm that minimizes the expected cost of indirect binary search for data with non-constant access costs, such as disk data. Indirect binary search means that sor...
