Levels of technicality in scientific communication
(Elsevier, 1976)
The large number of specialized languages which have resulted from the rapid development of modern science and technology, although meant to facilitate communication within each area of specialization, may create barriers ...
Relevance judgments and the incremental presentation of document representations
(Elsevier, 1991)
A new approach to the solicitation and measurement of relevance judgments is presented, which attempts to resolve some of the difficulties inherent in the nature of relevance and human judgment, and which further seeks to ...
One-dimensional and multi-dimensional substring selectivity estimation
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-12)
With the increasing importance of XML, LDAP directories, and text-based information sources on the Internet, there is an ever-greater need to evaluate queries involving (sub)string matching. In many cases, matches need to ...
Techniques for efficiently implementing totally self-checking checkers in MOS technology
(Elsevier, 1987)
This paper presents some new techniques for reducing the transistor count oof MOS implementations of totally self-checking (TSC) checkers. The techniques are (1) transfer of fanouts, (2) removal of inverters and (3) use ...
Average case completeness
(Elsevier, 1991-06)
We explain and advance Levin's theory of average case completeness. In particular, we exhibit examples of problems complete in the average case and prove a limitation on the power of deterministic reductions.
Novel applications of information retrieval to the storage and management of computer models
(Elsevier, 1989)
Decision-making is often supported by computer-based models. To become a truly valuable corporate resource, such models must be easy to locate, share, and reuse. We describe a technical approach to model management aimed ...
Automated solutions of breathing pattern optimizations
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
A numerical procedure which allows the convenient exploration of various optimization hypotheses of breathing pattern regulation is described. The method is based on the calculus of variations and uses a novel technique ...
Relevance odds of retrieval overlaps from seven search fields
(Elsevier, 1994)
Data contained in a 1982 paper were analyzed in terms of relevance odds of common items retrieved by searching any two content-bearing search fields. While the 1982 study compared the relative retrieval performance of 7 ...
Geostatistical incorporation of spatial coordinates into supervised classification of hyperspectral data
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2002-03)
This paper presents a methodology to incorporate both hyperspectral properties and spatial coordinates of pixels in maximum likelihood classification. Indicator kriging of ground data is used to estimate, for each pixel, ...
