Measuring User Relevance Criteria

Recently, Scholer and Turpin [Proc. SIGIR 2008] proposed the use of techniques from the field of psychophysics to determine a relevance threshold for a user. Using this threshold, they observed, one could match the relevance criteria of users to those of judges used to develop a test collection, hence selected users should have a better search experience with systems judged superior on that col...

Multi-criteria Logistic Hub Location by Network Segmentation under Criteria Weights Uncertainty (RESEARCH NOTE)

Third party service providers are locating logistic hub for operating their tasks. Finding a proper location helps them to have better performance in competitive environment. Multiple characteristics of proper location selection faces the decision maker to have a multi criteria decision making problem. Since the location decision is a long term planning, the robustness of the decision is gettin...

Optimal mixture weights in multiple importance sampling

In multiple importance sampling we combine samples from a finite list of proposal distributions. When those proposal distributions are used to create control variates, it is possible (Owen and Zhou, 2000) to bound the ratio of the resulting variance to that of the unknown best proposal distribution in our list. The minimax regret arises by taking a uniform mixture of proposals, but that is cons...

ue to the sensitive nature of and value associated with the different types of information required by today’s managers, organizations must insist the accuracy of the information provided by their computer-based systems is above reproach. Unfortunately, recent cases involving software piracy, data theft, system espionage and employee monitoring have emphasized the unethical behavior that can ac...
