This paper proposes an alternative approach to the standard notion of rational (or regular) expression for tree languages. The main difference is that in the new notion we have on...
We explore the relationship between time and relevance using TREC ad-hoc queries. A type of query is identified that favors very recent documents. We propose a time-based language...
Even in a massive corpus such as the Web, a substantial fraction of extractions appear infrequently. This paper shows how to assess the correctness of sparse extractions by utiliz...
