Randomisation is a method to test the statistical significance of a symbolic rule; it is, however, very expensive. In this paper we present a sequential randomisation test which d...
Document length normalisation is known to be a difficult problem in IR, as tuning is often needed to overcome the collection dependence problem known to affect many normalisation s...
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers keep extending with new features the computing infrastructures they offer on a pay per use basis. In this paper we explore reasons and...
We prove game-theoretic versions of several classical results on nonrepetitive sequences, showing the existence of winning strategies using an extension of the Local Lemma which c...
Abstract. Consider a set of n random axis parallel boxes in the unit hypercube in Rd , where d is fixed and n tends to infinity. We show that the minimum number of points one nee...
