Blocking probabilities in Wavelength Division Multiplex optical networks are hard to compute for realistic sized systems, even though analytical formulas for the distribution exis...
In many applications of natural language processing it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may need to determine...
We consider the problem of accurately measuring the credit risk of a portfolio consisting of loans, bonds and other financial assets. One particular performance measure of interes...
The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
For any Boolean functionf letL(f) be its formulasizecomplexityin the basis f^ 1g. For every n and every k n=2, we describe a probabilistic distribution on formulas in the basis f^...
