Kneser-Ney (1995) smoothing and its variants are generally recognized as having the best perplexity of any known method for estimating N-gram language models. Kneser-Ney smoothing...
Gene expression (microarray) data have been used widely in bioinformatics. The expression data of a large number of genes from small numbers of subjects are used to identify inform...
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...
A technique is proposed for smoothing a broken line fit, with known break points, to observational data. It will be referred to as "broken line smoothing". The smoothness...
Recent work on language models for information retrieval has shown that smoothing language models is crucial for achieving good retrieval performance. Many different effective smo...
In this paper, we present a new and efficient method to implement robust smoothing of low-level signal features: B-spline channel smoothing. This method consists of three steps: en...
Quality of service (QoS) assurance is a major concern in media-on-demand (MoD) systems. Admission control is one of the most important issues that need to be addressed for QoS ass...
Abstract. Document length is widely recognized as an important factor for adjusting retrieval systems. Many models tend to favor the retrieval of either short or long documents and...
While there is a very long tradition of approximating a data array by projecting row or column vectors into a lower dimensional subspace the direct approximation of a data matrix ...
Image smoothing using adaptive windows whose shapes, sizes, and orientations vary with image structure is described. Window size is increased with decreasing gradient magnitude, a...
