act out the core search problem of active learning schemes, to better understand the extent to which adaptive labeling can improve sample complexity. We give various upper and low...
Query abandonment by search engine users is generally considered to be a negative signal. In this paper, we explore the concept of good abandonment. We define a good abandonment ...
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the wavelet decomposition as a tool for reducing large amounts of data down to compact wavelet synopses that can be used to ...
A context in sponsored search is additional information about a query, such as the user’s age, gender or location, that can change an advertisement’s relevance or an advertise...
We investigate the problem of monotonicity reconstruction, as defined in [3], in a parallel setting. We have oracle access to a nonnegative real-valued function f defined on domai...
