A Web proxy must accurately predict network performance between itself and its servers and clients in order to make good distillation decisions. In this paper, we show that the cu...
Pseudo-relevance feedback, or query expansion, has been shown to improve retrieval performance in the adhoc retrieval task. In such a scenario, a few top-ranked documents are assu...
Many scientific, financial, data mining and sensor network applications need to work with continuous, rather than discrete data e.g., temperature as a function of location, or sto...
