Cumulated Gain-based Evaluation of IR Techniques
- ACM Transactions on Information Systems
, 2002
"... Modem large retrieval environments tend to overwhelm their users by their large output. Since all documents are not of equal relevance to their users, highly relevant documents should be identified and ranked first for presentation to the users. In order to develop IR techniques to this direction, i ..."

along the ranked result list. The second one is similar but applies a discount factor on the relevance scores in order to devaluate late-retrieved documents. The third one computes the relative-tothe -ideal performance of IR techniques, based on the cumulative gain they are able to yield. The novel
An Empirical Study of Smoothing Techniques for Language Modeling
, 1998
"... We present an extensive empirical comparison of several smoothing techniques in the domain of language modeling, including those described by Jelinek and Mercer (1980), Katz (1987), and Church and Gale (1991). We investigate for the first time how factors such as training data size, corpus (e.g., Br ..."

.g., Brown versus Wall Street Journal), and n-gram order (bigram versus trigram) affect the relative performance of these methods, which we measure through the cross-entropy of test data. In addition, we introduce two novel smoothing techniques, one a variation of Jelinek-Mercer smoothing and one a very
A New Location Technique for the Active Office
, 1997
"... Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex task that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to examine computers that would autonomously change their functionality based on observations of who or ..."

novel sensor system, suitable for large-scale deployment in indoor environments, which allows the locations of people and equipment to be accurately determined. We also describe some of the context-aware applications that might make use of this fine-grained location information.
Raptor codes
- IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
, 2006
"... LT-Codes are a new class of codes introduced in [1] for the purpose of scalable and fault-tolerant distribution of data over computer networks. In this paper we introduce Raptor Codes, an extension of LT-Codes with linear time encoding and decoding. We will exhibit a class of universal Raptor codes: ..."

, and the original symbols are recovered from the collected ones with O(k log(1/ε)) operations. We will also introduce novel techniques for the analysis of the error probability of the decoder for finite length Raptor codes. Moreover, we will introduce and analyze systematic versions of Raptor codes, i.e., versions
MULTILISP: a language for concurrent symbolic computation
- ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems
, 1985
"... Multilisp is a version of the Lisp dialect Scheme extended with constructs for parallel execution. Like Scheme, Multilisp is oriented toward symbolic computation. Unlike some parallel programming languages, Multilisp incorporates constructs for causing side effects and for explicitly introducing par ..."

prototypes including up to eight processors. Concert Multilisp uses novel techniques for task scheduling and garbage collection. The task scheduler helps control excessive resource utilization by means of an unfair scheduling policy; the garbage collector uses a multiprocessor algorithm based
An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
, 2002
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

S-MAC uses a few novel techniques to reduce energy consumption and support self-configuration. It enables low-duty-cycle operation in a multihop network. Nodes form virtual
A Sentimental Education: Sentiment Analysis Using Subjectivity Summarization Based on Minimum Cuts
- PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACL
, 2004
"... Sentiment analysis seeks to identify the viewpoint(s) underlying a text span; an example application is classifying a movie review as “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”. To determine this sentiment polarity, we propose a novel machine-learning method that applies text-categorization techniques to just the ..."
