Easy Tasks Dominate Information Retrieval Evaluation Results
"... Abstract: The evaluation of information retrieval systems involves the creation of potential user needs for which systems try to find relevant documents. The difficulty of these topics differs greatly and final scores for systems are typically based on the mean average. However, the topics which are ..."

are relatively easy to solve, have a much larger impact on the final system ranking than hard topics. This paper presents a novel methodology to measure that effect. The results of a large evaluation experiment with 100 topics from the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) allow a split of the topics into four
A Singular Value Thresholding Algorithm for Matrix Completion
, 2008
"... This paper introduces a novel algorithm to approximate the matrix with minimum nuclear norm among all matrices obeying a set of convex constraints. This problem may be understood as the convex relaxation of a rank minimization problem, and arises in many important applications as in the task of reco ..."

Pregel: A system for large-scale graph processing
- IN SIGMOD
, 2010
"... Many practical computing problems concern large graphs. Standard examples include the Web graph and various social networks. The scale of these graphs—in some cases billions of vertices, trillions of edges—poses challenges to their efficient processing. In this paper we present a computational model ..."

model suitable for this task. Programs are expressed as a sequence of iterations, in each of which a vertex can receive messages sent in the previous iteration, send messages to other vertices, and modify its own state and that of its outgoing edges or mutate graph topology. This vertex-centric approach

Pin: building customized program analysis tools with dynamic instrumentation
- IN PLDI ’05: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2005 ACM SIGPLAN CONFERENCE ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
, 2005
"... Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent, and eff ..."

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:
- Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI,
, 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

. Introduction The task of calculating posterior marginals on nodes in an arbitrary Bayesian network is known to be NP hard In this paper we investigate the approximation performance of "loopy belief propagation". This refers to using the well-known Pearl polytree algorithm [12] on a Bayesian network
Automation trust and reliance 1 OCCASIONAL AUTOMATION FAILURES ON EASY TASKS UNDERMINES TRUST IN AUTOMATION
"... Automation users often mistrust diagnostic aids that are imperfectly reliable (Parasuraman & Riley, 1997), particularly on occasions when automation errors appear conspicuous (c.f. Dzindolet, Peterson, Pomranky, Pierce, & Beck, in press), or simple to the user. Madhavan, Wiegmann, and Lacso ..."

, and Lacson, (2003) found that when operators catch easy mistakes made by an automated aid, it bolsters their self-confidence in their own ability to outperform the aid even on difficult tasks, resulting in automation under-trust and under-reliance. Specifically, Madhavan et al. proposed the “easy
Improving Classroom Behavior by Modifying Task Difficulty: Effects of Increasing the Difficulty of Too-Easy Tasks
"... Abstract: This study examined the effects of increasing task difficulty when inadequately challenging tasks are assigned. Jason, a 10-year-old, typically developing Caucasian boy, attended a fourth-grade general education classroom at a public elementary school. During independent academic assignme ..."

Hard and Easy Distributions of SAT Problems

Here we show that by using the right distribution of instances, and appropriate parameter values, it is possible to ..."
