We present a semantic caching approach for optimizing the performance of information mediators. A critical problem with information mediators, particularly those gathering and int...
Despite its intuitive appeal, the hypothesis that retrieval at the level of “concepts” should outperform purely term-based approaches remains unverified empirically. In addit...
We propose a learning algorithm for a variable memory length Markov process. Human communication, whether given as text, handwriting, or speech, has multi characteristic time scal...
