Estimating tail probabilities of heavy tailed distributions with asymptotically zero relative error
Efficient estimation of tail probabilities involving heavy tailed random variables is amongst the most challenging problems in Monte-Carlo simulation. In the last few years, appli...

Obtaining calibrated probability estimates from decision trees and naive Bayesian classifiers
Accurate, well-calibrated estimates of class membership probabilities are needed in many supervised learning applications, in particular when a cost-sensitive decision must be mad...

The Quantum Probability Ranking Principle for Information Retrieval
Abstract. While the Probability Ranking Principle for Information Retrieval provides the basis for formal models, it makes a very strong assumption regarding the dependence between...
