In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval....
Many efforts are currently going towards networking smart things from the physical world (e.g. RFID, wireless sensor and actuator networks, embedded devices) on a larger scale. Rat...
In ongoing research, a collaborative peer network application is being proposed to address the scalability limitations of centralized search engines. Here we introduce a local ada...
The global computational grids bring together distributed computation/communication resources. Beyond this, we envision the emergence of global `service grids', which provide...
We present a simple and scalable algorithm for clustering tens of millions of phrases and use the resulting clusters as features in discriminative classifiers. To demonstrate the ...
