Gaussian Adaptation as a unifying framework for continuous black-box optimization and adaptive Monte Carlo sampling
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...

An Effective Approach to Verbose Queries Using a Limited Dependencies Language Model
Intuitively, any `bag of words' approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies ...
