Abstract. Active learning refers to the task of devising a ranking function that, given a classifier trained from relatively few training examples, ranks a set of additional unlabe...
We analyze the convergence of randomized trace estimators. Starting at 1989, several algorithms have been proposed for estimating the trace of a matrix by 1 M M i=1 zT i Azi, where...
In this paper we introduce the semantic approach of the answer extraction component of a question answering system called SBUQA. The answer extraction component gets the retrieved...
We present some observations on the block triangular form (btf) of structurally symmetric, square, sparse matrices. If the matrix is structurally rank deficient, its canonical btf ...
