Optimising the parameters of ranking functions with respect to standard IR rank-dependent cost functions has eluded satisfactory analytical treatment. We build on recent advances ...

The null space-based LDA takes full advantage of the null space while the other methods remove the null space. It proves to be optimal in performance. From the theoretical analysi...
Distributed computing is increasingly important at a time when the doubling of the number of transistors on a processor every 18 months no longer translates in a doubling of speed ...
We consider the problem of tiling a segment {0, . . . , n} of the discrete line. More precisely, we ought to characterize the structure of the patterns that tile a segment and thei...
Switched Processing Systems (SPS) capture the essence of a fundamental resource allocation problem in many modern communication, computer and manufacturing systems involving hetero...
