Motivation: Database search programs such as FASTA, BLAST or a rigorous Smith–Waterman algorithm produce lists of database entries, which are assumed to be related to the query....
We present a framework that enables the use of traditional feature selection algorithms in a new context - for building a set of subsets of specified properties. During the course...
We present S3 , a system that implicitly captures the process and products of Web investigations (exploratory searches involving multiple queries). This automatically-created, pers...
